Your first picture, with no. 1 (862), I can now, with the help of your pdf file and a good map (Dutch
topo map 1:25k), positively identify as the old tripoint 'Kingdom of the Netherlands - Kingdom of Prussia
- Kingdom of Hanover'. It is near the Dutch village of Overdinkel, in Overijssel province.
Dutch border stones at the Prussian side are numbered 1 to 862. No. 1 was at what is now defrlu, and no.
193 is bedenl. North of 862, the numbering starts all over again, since it was the Dutch-Hanoverian
boundary there.
The stone is older than the time it became a tripoint, I think. Still don't know what coat-of-arms it is.
