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.


Added 1976 catalog page.

Here are a couple of Bucheimer "semi-shoulder" holsters, one with the usual spring type holster, and one with the less common holster, which is more of a traditional pouch type holster.

Also, here is my Buchemier FBI holster, together with the Buchemier 2x2x2 pouch issued to agents at the time. The Model 13 is property of a friend, but we got together for a photo shoot!

Finally, here is an article on the FBI Model 13 from 1982.

Excellent thread!!!

Chad's picture showing the adjustable strap would suggest a universal fit holster - or at least a multi-fit holster. Or - 4 inch J frame.

Need info on Bucheimer holsters please.

update: A similar holster with the marking 01-260LW-x turned up in a 2018 post.

Update 2: 1982 patent

Default Bucheimer Clark Co. B3LW-52

GREAT INFO here.

Wanted to show you a holster, see Title, I acquired in 80s when I got a M10.

It does not have belt loops or a clip. It slides over a belt. It is right handed with a slight forward tilt. My M642 is a bit large for it, so maybe for .32?

Ideas welcome. Thanks!

Well, the chart shows the number 52 is for either a S&W 2½ inch Combat Magnum or a 5 inch N frame. Same for variations 152 or 520.

Not helpful if your J frame is too big.

Goes to show how many gaps still exist in the list.

Default Bucheimer Speed Loader

Bucheimer marketed - Salinas Industries made [ht linde] - may be the same as the Feather Touch. 1964. Contemporary tests graded it down for retention when dropped, but a perfectly serviceable loader. Pictures by Linde

Default Need help with Bucheimer #43 "holster"?

Hello all,
O.K just back from a flea market with a new treasure! The only problem is it's not in any of the catalogs???? This is an early Bucheimer with the large "b" and "Since 1884"........plus the # 43. The catalog lists the 43 as being for a .38 Colt snub ( I am trying to remember???). I am adding photos to show my Mod 60 stainless and a NAA .22 LR for comparison. I thought when I first saw this it was a sheath for a pair of 6" cutters, but when I turned it over and saw the old Bucheimer mark I bought it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks and God bless. cordell

Holder for a ticket punch, etc.

P.S. Still a neat item. Can't be many of them out there.

As mentioned elsewhere: This thread needs more shoulder holster pictures.
Bucheimer, Clark and Bucheimer-Clark made an amazing variety of shoulder holsters styles. And then there's the one some guy wore in a movie...

Here are a few that are in my photo files:

clark shoulder (10).jpg

clark shoulder (4).jpg

clark shoulder (1).jpg

bucheimer's (1).jpg

bucheimer (1).jpg

Two of them are Clark's. Do we know for certain when Clark Holster became Bucheimer-Clark, which stayed in Los Angeles while J.M. Bucheimer continued in Maryland? I have roughly dated that as 1962 in my head. . ..

I picked up this Bucheimer 189-42 on eBay Australia for about $20 AU. The seller didn't have much in the description as to what revolver it would fit. I intended to use it for my S&W Model 15-2 when competing in a Combined Services Match that is shot out here. It seems a little lose and checking the charts, 42 appears to be for a Colt Detective Special or a S&W M28 Highway Patrol. Can anyone confirm this for me please? 189 does not appear on the charts also. Why is this? Many thanks. Moo Moo

I'd bet on the N frame for the 189-42. As stated .. the list is incomplete.

My 1953 digital copy doesn't show Clark at all, illustrating that GD is not perfectly inclusive or always accurate.
The 1953 list is interesting. Roseberry???

Update 2021 -- R.E. Roseberry continued being listed in Gun Digest until 1976.
A thread by -db- prompted a discussion of Maverick holsters made in Anderson, Indiana. The name found then was Perry Balungraph not Roseberry. In my limited search, GD never showed another maker in Anderson nor the name Perry Balungraph.

N frame (such as the old M28) for sure with the corroborating info of the K frame being a bit loose. Even the scale of all the bits says N frame :-)

Linde dusted off his 1961 dated (1960 pub.) Gun Digest - the 15th Anniversary DeLuxe Edition - and found the same information in the company name appendix.

I did a simple search for California corporation records.

Default Holster Identification Help

I recently received a Bucheimer BPL-29 holster and was wondering if anyone knew what it fits. I know it was my grandfathers and he was in various areas of federal law enforcement and military throughout the 50's-70's. Any help identifying it's fitment would be greatly appreciated.

Need a little help. I have a Bucheimer Holster with B.01.112,14 on the back. The belt loop is riveted in. It is a duty style (I think) Am I reading right that it would be for "COLT AUTOMATICS - .32 or .380 cal." and "S&W Military & Police, Combat Master 4” because the 112 and 14 have a comma between them. What does the 01 stand for? I have another that is a 2 slot pancake style with B-01-004-34 It has Pat. No. 4.062.481. Any idea where it falls in these lists? The fellow I got it from said it fit 4 inch S&W K frames. Too bad Photobucket messed up most of the attached catalog pages.

B for black. The rest is always guessing with Bucheimer.
The next 5 digits for the holster model number.
The last 2 digits for the handgun size.

14 and 34 are both codes for 4 inch K frames.

Dunno on the BPL.

Mike Priwer still has most of the basic Bucheimer-Clark catalog in one of his albums. Thanks Mike!!

I stumbled upon this thread just now. Thanks for the great share on this. Can you restore the photo-bucket blocked images ?

Great research.

This is a folded one page insert from a Bucheimer 1961 catalog detailing the Pacemaker line of holsters. The fit chart is on the back. The catalog was in an inventory I bought of Evaluators Ltd. material.

I've combined the 1961 and 1971 Pacemaker lists so as to be searchable with notations on the major differences. Most are obvious, such as Dan Wesson didn't exist in 1961 and Whitney was no longer in 1971. Close, but not quite the same as the Perfect Fit list.

1971 also has the very slightly different list for the lined Pacemaker.

I'm updating the major list for arrangement and format. PDF's attached, as always.

Hi everybody,

I found this thread searchin' in google for "Bucheimer BHS-7", this guy here







(the gun in it is just a test, I don't believe it is the gun the holster is made for).

A real gold mine of information here, but by using ctrl + F in this thread I had no hits. I buy and sell old holsters for hobby, and it is always helpful for collectors/buyers whe I can state exactly the suitability of my items. Anyone know something about this one?

That’s a Bucheimer made Hank Sloan model holster. Size 7 is for 4” medium frame revolvers such as the S&W Combat Masterpiece revolvers. The catalog lists the size as follows:
HS7 = S&W M&P, Colt OP, Colt .357 4”
The screw adjusts the welt and consequently the tension.
Regards,
turnerriver

Thank you all who have contributed to Bucheimer's fit charts.
It has enabled me to find the perfect fit for this Bucheimer-Clark
Patrolman rig. The rig is 37A-34-72W (So the size is 34)
The perfect fit is K38 "Masterpiece". My model 67 Masterpiece is
shown.

Click on the image once or twice if you would like to enlarge.

From another thread in regards to the late Bucheimer system with numbers and dashes, such as 01-106-16.

The next number is the holster type ...

The last number is listed as the model number but is really the size code...

Bucheimer had 102 years to figure this system out according to the catalog cover “Since 1884”.

With the permission of the owner, a new to me Bucheimer flap holster marked in the 1980's digit and dash style 01 - 939 - 90 LH.

A model 939 holster for a fit code #90 pistol, which from the molding would appear to be a Steyr GB. LH for left hand.

Presumably a USA made stainless Rogak would also fit.

One in natural brown and one in black have just popped up for auction.

Updated the master list with #90 = Steyr.

See post #52

Information on the Concealer is incomplete. -- update 53 = S&W Model 19 4 inch barrel.

1976 patent by Earl Clark, son of Ed Clark -- as in Bucheimer-Clark. Without looking, my recollection the patented feature is the tunnel belt loop.

The information in the Holstory book by Red Nichols and John Witty raised my esteem for both father and son several notches.


Holsters can be found with the usual Bucheimer code markings - such as BC-11 for a J frame - or later with the 3 segment code explained by Turnerriver.

The first two digits denote the type of product.

01 = holsters
02 = belts
03 = clubs and saps
04 = ammunition and magazine carriers

The second series of digits indicate the holster model.

The third series of digits indicate the holster size code.

Thanks for this chart John. It gave me confirmation that
my Pacemaker (size 9) is made for S&W Combat Magnum,
among others. And I was able to sell it in the classifieds.

Hi Guys,

I have another couple of questions for the experts here, maybe someone can help me out.

I recently bought this one here







My S&W 36 fits pretty well in it, although I suspect there's some room left for a Colt DS, too. But I'd like to know something more about it (since I will resell it), for instance, how is it supposed to be carried? Is it a pocket holster or what?

Thanks in advance as usual for your valuable help

I am not an expert, but the strap looks to snap down like a beltloop.

But in this case the holster would be for left handed?

That is a paddle holster. The screw in the pic is a tention screw.

Think you mean "tension", I knew that, but as a paddle holster it looks as a holster for left handers or do I miss something?

Catalog picture of S&W model B35 paddle holster that is virtually identical to the Bucheimer. Several makers had "boot heel" paddle holsters that are worn with the paddle inside the belt rather than inside the pants.

It is- note the small LH stamped on the rear. Some makers identified left hand holsters, Lawrence stamped them with the letter X.

Hi everybody,

here I am again with one more question, this time I stumbled on this tiny little guy here



which does't fit even the small blank pistol on the pics. It has a coding on the belt strap:



here the approximate size:



I scrolled up and down the whole thread here and could not find it. Someone told me it could be for the FN baby, this little thing here



anyone know more?

Thanks in advance as usual!
