Ancient boundary markers
These two former boundary markers delimit territories that have now disappeared with the exception of one, Belgium. The smaller one stamped S.M. (Stavelot-Malmedy) marked the boundary between the "Postelleries" (former legislatives districts) of Stavelot and Malmedy. The larger one marked the border that existed from 1815 to 1919 between Belgium, Stavelot, and Prussia, Malmedy (B.P.).
