<div id="ygrps-yiv-1708127690">I have found an answer on the question on the coat of arms in foto 1.<br/>
My source is the book Grenspalen in Nederland, T. Brouwer, Zutphen <br/>
1978.<br/>
<br/>
I will do my best to give a good translation.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Christoph Bernard, Freiherr von Galen (1606-1678) who became <br/>
monarch/bishop of Munster in 1650, ordered in 1659 the erection of 87 <br/>
stones on the border between<br/>
Munster and Overijssel/Gelre.<br/>
<br/>
On the tripoint Overijssel-Munster-Bentheim stood a triangular stone. <br/>
See foto 1 and 2.<br/>
<br/>
On the first side, no foto present !?, is the coat of arms of <br/>
Bentheim and 1659.<br/>
In 1824 a &quot;H&quot; was carved when Hannover was formed.<br/>
The second side, is foto 2, shows the coat of arms of Overijssel, <br/>
1659 and the number &quot;N = 87&quot;.<br/>
The third side, foto 1, shows the coat of arms of the bishop of <br/>
Munster, his initials CBEM and 1659.<br/>
CBEM = Christoph Bernard Episcopus Monasteriensis.<br/>
The coat of arms has three ducks of his predesessor Strömberg; three <br/>
balls of him being Heer van Borculo; the horizontal<br/>
bar of Munster and an hartshaped shield, showing three barbs, of the <br/>
family Von Galen.<br/>
