<br/>
in any case it seems unlikely that you&#39;ld find a 19th border marker <br/>
near the current border, since it moved after WW1 (Treaty of <br/>
Versailles), so it&#39;s not in the same place now than it was then.<br/>

<br/>
Incidentally that&#39;s the only time the location of the border changed <br/>
in the last couple of centuries, but frequently the countries <br/>
separated by it changed:<br/>
<br/>
I-don&#39;t-know-when until 1871: Prussia/Russia,<br/>
1871 - 1920: Germany/Russia  <br/>
<br/>
* 1920 border moved according to Versailles<br/>
<br/>
1920 - 1940: Germany/Lithuania<br/>
1940 - 1945: Germany/Soviet Union<br/>
1945 - 1991: Inner-Soviet Republic boundary<br/>
1991 - today: Russia/Lithuania<br/>
