Worshipful Company of Gunmakers
The
Worshipful Company of Gunmakers is one of the
Livery Companies of the
City of London. The Gunmakers' Company received a
Royal Charter of incorporation in 1637. The Company was, and still is, responsible for testing various gun barrels for safety. Thus, unlike most Livery Companies, the Gunmakers have retained a link to their trade.
The Gunmakers' Company ranks seventy-third in the order of precedence for Livery Companies.
