For those of you who read Dutch, I stumbled across a page on the website
from the town archives of Breda (NL) (<http://stadsarchief.breda.nl>),
announcing the publication of an article on "grens- en mijlpalen"
(border markers and milestones) in their six-monthly bulletin
_Archivaria_: <http://stadsarchief.breda.nl/actueel/Archivaria7.htm>.

The full title of this article is: "Van grenspalen tot schampstenen, een
speurtocht naar kleine, maar waardevolle Bredase monumenten". A list of
sources used for this article can be consulted at
<http://stadsarchief.breda.nl/actueel/archivaria7bronnen.htm>. A look at
this list leads me to believe there is not only information on municipal
border markers, but also some on border markers between the Netherlands
and Belgium.

This magazine comes free of charge, although I don't know if they accept
international subscriptions. I rang and subscribed, specifically asking
them to send the current issue as well. It will be posted to my home
address in the Netherlands, so it might take a while to reach me here in
Poland, so I can't comment on the article itself yet. But it might be
interesting.
