The right-hand gauntlet was recovered from Cardiff Bay by Torchwood Three circa 1967. (TV: Everything Changes) It had a strange but unspecified connection to the "Life knife", an alien artefact made of the same type of metal. (TV: They Keep Killing Suzie) Jack Harkness suspected the glove was not lost like most things that fell through the Cardiff Space-Time Rift, but was disposed of, guessing the original owner wanted to be rid of it. He also could not blame them either for wanting to be rid of it.
