Found on the internet: A draft agreement between Belorussia, Poland,
and Lithuania, on the location of BYLTPL, at
http://pravo2000.by.ru/baza10/d09208.htm (not unlike the draft
agreement on BYPLUA, found at this same site by Pepijn). A.o.:

"(...) Article 1

1. The tripoint of the state boundaries of the Republic of Belorussia,
the Lithuanian Republic, and the Republic of Poland, hereafter named
tripoint, is located on the line of the former Soviet-Polish state
boundary at the location of the boundary marker no. 1789, with the
geographical co-ordinates, graphically established according to the
1942 co-ordinate system, 535723 lat. and 233100 long.

2. The location of the tripoint of the boundaries of the Parties is
conventionally marked "X" on the Map of the tripoint of the state
boundaries of Belorussia, the Lithuanian Republic, and the Republic of
Poland, scale 1:10000, which is attached to the present Agreement and
forms an inalienable part of it.

Article 2

1. In order to mark the tripoint, the Parties will place a special
boundary marker, "Marycha".

2. The boundary marker "Marycha" consists of three four-sided poles,
all of which will bear on the side facing the tripoint the
coat-of-arms, the name of the country, and that of the boundary marker
"Marycha". The inscriptions will be in the language of the country in
which the pole is situated. The co-ordinates of all elements of this
marker will be established by instruments. (...)"

As with BYPLUA, it is only a draft.



Another marker: At http://fizyka.phys.put.poznan.pl/~spoon/szlak_3.htm
(click on "S�up graniczny na Czereninie (granica
Niemicko-S�owacko-W�gierska") this marker is both called the former
tripoint of Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia before WW2 and that of
Germany, Hungary, and Slovakia. The right designation is probably the
latter one, not before but during WW2, when both Hungary and Slovakia
were German allies (or vassals, if you like). The point is more than 25
km WNW of PLSKUA, on the PLSK border. I can't find it on my maps here,
but it is probably in the vicinity of the Polish hamlet Solinka (a
narrow gauge railway is running very near the border here).

In the picture I think I can see three stones, but it could be the
remains of one and the same marker, see below.

At http://przewodnik.onet.pl/1127,1594,1081294,1081410,artykulr.html ,
the location is given as near Czerenina mountain, and that the marker
has the letters D (Deutschland), S (Slovensko) and M (Magyarorsz�g).
Germany in this case is the "Generalgouvernement". Here it says that
the marker once was 2 m high, and has been toppled over. The thing now
lies beside the path, according to this site.

I knew that Hungary got Transcarpathia in WW2, but up to now thought
that the then HUSK border ran along the present SKUA border. It looks
like the HUSK border ran more to the west of present SKUA.
