GUNMAKERS, The Worshipful Company of, London.

GUNMAKERS, The Worshipful Company of, London. (Incorporated 14th March 1637.) Argent two guns (muskets) in saltire proper, in chief the cypher C. P. (or ? the letter G) and in base the letter V sable, each crowned with a regal crown, on the dexter side in fesse a barrel and on the sinister three balls all of the second. Crest — On a wreath of the colours, a dexter arm in armour holding in the hand a scimitar all proper.

This device is quite unauthorised, andBerry in his " Encyclopaedia Heraldica," says of it, " This appears to be a composition of some painter and not a proper armorial ensign."
