armourers
Medieval arms makers
Armourers is the British spelling of armorers—people who make, maintain, or supply arms and armor.
Historically, armourers crafted suits of armor and weapons for knights and soldiers: The king's armourers worked through the night before battle.
In modern military usage, armourers maintain and repair firearms and other weapons systems.
