Guten Morgen! I finally made it here to Graz, Austria where I’m visiting the Landeszeughaus. The morning stars were peasant arms. They were unskilled in war, unarmed and expendable. Hence they were issued cheap and unsophisticated weapons which could be easily massproduced. Some of these peasant arms are stored in the Styrian armoury with other arms and armour of the 16-18C.
