&gt; directly above this tall triangular stone on your page remains the leading<br/>
<br/>
&gt; candidate for the oldest working international boundary stone in the world<br/>
<br/>
&gt; following a recent challenge  if only we could find the paperwork to confirm<br/>
<br/>
&gt; it<br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt;<br/>
<br/>

&gt; In August I presented this stone (threat Summer Quiz).<br/>
<br/>
&gt; I quoted from a book on monuments in Overijssel. Is that the paperwork you<br/>
<br/>
&gt; mean?<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>it is most of the way to what i would like to see  <br/>
<br/>
especially if the book tells its reason for guessing the date 1480<br/>
<br/>
& particularly if it names its sources <br/>
<br/>
preferably treaty texts<br/>
<br/>
but this is always the most elusive part of what i think of as absolute validation<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
but others may not think this<br/>
<br/>
so it is all relative in the end anyway<br/>
<br/>
yet i do think you have the best candidate here harry<br/>
