Well,
the difference to the Pedra Dreta in Llívia (and possibly to the other stones
alluded to) is that it became a border marker later, in a secondary or
tertiary function so-to-speak, while the stone on Monte Carparo may
have been made a border marker right from the outset in 1338 or
before.
Suspicion remains, however, for a couple of reasons, that the stone
on Monte Carparo may have been fabricated.
The
border there was really a border, between the historical "principality" of
Seborga and the community of San Remo, which got absorbed into the Republic of
Genova quite early. Still today it is the border between the two communities. I
am sorry I can't show a "true" picture here since I am still living on
old-fashioned slides.

if
he really is an expert
as well as correct
& the border really is a
real border
then that is an impressively early date for a working border
marker
