Hello,
Looking through old posts, I found very little about Morgensterns and their wooden spiked cousins.
I present here the Flemish cousin of the Morgenstern named Goedendag or Goedendac, Guten Tag - to say hello to the enemy or good dagger.
Plus a sort of large stick with a spear at the end to counter horsemen and also variant with side point like wooden Morgensterns.
existence since the 13th-14th century and a more massive and shorter handle
