Morgenstern
Blunt, Military, Polearm, Spikes, Piercing, Rural, German, Czech, Slavic, Latin Europe
Similar to a Godendag but with lateral spikes and a longer haft, Morgensterns were used by the Swiss, the Flemish, the Frisians, the Germans, the Czechs and various other people around Europe, particularly by militias and infantry armies. Morgensterns were used well into the Early Modern period and as a result many of these weapons dating to the 17th and 18th Century can still be found in auction houses having been retained by various armouries for centuries.
