''A glove where all of the fingers are in a single section.'' <br>
*Waltharilied, 10th Century German Saga (current version written down in the 15th C). The Hero Walter (Walthari) loses his right hand in a fight against Hagen von Trjone (The same as in the Niebelungen Saga). During the evening drinking a Frank suggests to Walter that he could kill a deer and make himself a glove (whether with fingers or a mitten is unclear) from the skin, and if stuffed with wool could be used to make men believe it was a real hand (this suggests it would have been a fingered glove). [SCHEFFEL 1886: chapter 24]
