Default In search of Bucheimer holster codes of fit chart

I was recently given some Bucheimer duty holsters by a friend who know I'm searching for a particular one (a Combat model).
Unfortunately, the holsters aren't the one I'm looking for, but I'd like to know two things, what these holsters fit, and what Bucheimer code corresponds with a Colt D-frame.

Does anyone have a list of Bucheimer codes or something like a fit chart.

If so, please let me know.

Many Thanks,

Bob Boyd

If someone comes up with a chart, I suggest we post it somewhere permanently as there are occasional questions on this forum about "what gun does this Bucheimer holser fit".

The only Bucheimer catalog I have is date 1955-6.Here is the size chart for the Perfect fit series.This catalog also has the Guardian,Utopian, Semi-shoulder,Shoulder & Easy-off models.I imagine you need later size codes but if these help,great-if not,sorry I couldn't provide more recent information.This photo should allow you to zoom in enough to read.

I found my old holster but after all these years I've forgotten what I had in it. I did had a 6" barreled .22, but my x brother in law needed it worse then I. The holster has this on it:"Bucheimer Made since 1884 2606W
Any help out there? Hadn't been used hardly at all and I don't think my Dan Wesson would fit. Thank you

Found this one at my grandparents.

Stamped 73

Obviously held a revolver at some point, which is interesting since I never knew my grandfather had a revolver.

Any ideas?

The chart is searchable.
In the chart #73 is one number for a single action Colt revolver. In the photo the outline looks more like a DA revolver. Maybe, maybe not. If so, and if 73 meant SAA back then, it would not be the first time one handgun was used in a holster not originally designed for it.


I wonder if Bob Boyd ever stumbled across my list.
