I have listed a new acrylic display with a slice of a heatshield gasket to the public on eBay today.

Insulated Silicone Elastomer Gasket:
Installed between the Command Module heat shield and Crew Compartment interface gaps. This was a part of the Thermal Protection System (TPS). The interior consists of cellulose Insulation, a strip of woven fiberglass, aluminum thermal foil hand wrapped with 1 inch strip of Silicone coated material, and partially covered with RTV 511 Silicon, then molded to the joint with RTV 560.

Also listed on eBay is large piece of Thermal Foil.
