Default Bucheimer Concealer as used by FBI

The owner of these two gave me permission to use his pictures ...

For fans of the Bucheimer Concealer holster, two holsters in the FBI style - with covered trigger and front slot, as issued with the 3 inch S&W Mdl. 13 and as worn by Jodie in The Silence of the Lambs. Silence of the Lambs, The - Internet Movie Firearms Database - Guns in Movies, TV and Video Games

I read the model/size stamping as 01 604 15 Patent 4,062,481

A second holster in poorer condition but with a better view of the front slot.

Patent 4,062,481 Patent US4062481 - Pistol holster - Google Patents Inventor Earl J. Clark, Tandy Brands.


Disclosed herein is a holster for pistols having an improved belt loop assembly. A pair of belt loop assemblies are connected to opposite sides of the gun receiving pocket. Each assembly has an inner piece of holster material containing a slot for the reception of a belt. An outer piece free of slots is joined to the inner piece at the top and bottom, defining a belt receiving opening on the outer edge in communication with the adjacent slot.
A pin depends from the loop that fastens the pistol in the holster for locking shrouded revolvers in place (Item #45 in the patent drawing.)

The application gives reference to one holster of this type is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,731,858, issued to [Roy] Baker on May 8, 1973.

Sorry, no size chart. update:
01 indicates the product is a holster
604 is the holster model number
16 is the size reference, generally following other Bucheimer numbers.
