What is this guild gun you speak I have never figured out how this guild system worked did each outworker contribute labour and hoped to be paid or was there a business man who financed it?did a guild finance it who did the guild sell through?this supposed system would be in conflict with mfg.and retailers who used the out worker system.im up for any comment or explanation.
It likely worked about as you supposed in your comment. Common thread is no name and no way to identify a particular maker. Outworkers making use of their own time and skill set in cooperation with others to produce a finished gun for sale the proceeds of which must have been in some way shared...Geo
