well harry seems to have found at least part of
another marker
possibly the second of a pair of belu terminal mates
http://home.planet.nl/~veenhh/borderland/europa/be-fr-lu.htm
& your map seems to indicate this pair is called belu
marker number 1
http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/wK0fRdkFqBPjOxnfudOgvwGBsPhCZ-Riej-F60nlctXd2Y0uHLWfmeXlMya9Xr0sHDbThD_3_OlaFZFobavCnwubDktRBeA/befrlu.jpg
& their exact positions could be quite telling
come to think of it
even if they are indirect rather than direct
as i suppose
since they might still have been precisely placed
at either side of the exact end of belu
one in belgium & the other in luxembourg it seems
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BoundaryPoint/message/3979
& hence directly athwart the exact tripoint
at least at the time of their installation in the 19th
century
& possibly still today
also i now realize i was slightly mistaken about not
having seen the wording in any of the treaties
since there is this
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BoundaryPoint/message/3975
& this too
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BoundaryPoint/message/4015
which indicates a change in the frlu convergent
& thus possibly in the tripoint position as well
was in the works around the time of your visit
which thus may or may not have been subsequently
consummated
so perhaps the tripoint was then
or is today
not the exact confluence after all
yikes
& it may well be worth keeping this an open question
til we do have all the necessary & current data in
hand
