Default Opinion of Bucheimer Shoulder Holster 01-900?

Does anyone have any experience with the Bucheimer 01-900 shoulder holster from the mid 80’s? The holster appears to be a copy of the Bianchi X15 design. Thank you in advance for any insight experience with this holster?

Photos from several angles with a ruler next to the holster may help.

I tried to upload pictures unsuccessfully. Was just hoping someone either had this model holster or knew what numbers matched. Thank you

Here’s a cut from a 1985-6 Bucheimer catalog showing your holster with size information.

So it sounds like in the 1985-1986 time period Bucheimer was no longer known as Bucheimer-Clark but just Bucheimer? When did Bucheimer ultimately go out of business? Last question, what was the quality of these model 900 shoulder holsters, i.e. how did they stack up against the Bianchi X15 shoulder holster at the time? Thanks again in advance for the insight and information.

Bucheimer-Clark was a California based company that operated until 1978-it was a division of the J.M. Bucheimer Co. based in Maryland. Both companies were owned by Tandy Leather. The catalog I cited above was the last known catalog of the J.M. Bucheimer Co. although the name is still in use. There is much more detailed information available on the internet.
