	Livery Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 107 Livery Companies are trade associations based in the City of London, each known as the Worshipful Company of the relevant trade or profession.
		The Livery Companies originally developed as guilds and were responsible for the regulation of their trades, controlling, for instance, wages and labour conditions.
		Among the earliest companies known to have possessed halls were the Merchant Taylors and Goldsmiths in the 14th century, but neither theirs nor other companies' original halls remain; the few survivors of the Great Fire were destroyed, along with many reconstructed ones, during the Blitz.

		Until 1835 membership of a Company was the only avenue to the Freedom, or full citizenship, of the City of London.

		All these improvements in the technology and quality of the gun, along with the fact that many were required to be elaborately decorated to reflect the status of the owner, placed great demands upon the skill of the craftsman who made them.

		Many of the London gunmakers, in addition to the hundreds of provincial gunmakers, purchased many of the components for their guns from Birmingham, or even had complete guns built there.
