The London Armoury Company was a short lived arms manufacturer based in London, England. It was founded in 1856 by renowned gun designer Robert Adams, before becoming a crucial supplier to the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War. The L.A.C. closed in 1866, having lost it's largest customer when the CSA was defeated a year earlier (with many of its employees switching to the London Small Arms Company Ltd. in the same year).
