The Worshipful Company of Gunmakers is an ancient livery company banished from the City of London due to the hazardous nature of their trade. This is one of two proof houses in Great Britain - the other is in Birmingham - to which all small arms have to be submitted for testing, to ensure that they are safe to use, prior to sale.
