scouts of the Border Protection Corps (KOP) soldiers is wearing a characteristic circular cap, worn only
by the KOP. (Source: Boguslaw Tomaszewski.)

concrete pole found west of the boundary marker, near the river.

The
northernmost crossing-point at the former Lithuanian-Polish administration

was how the most likely actual line looked like in July 2012.
The
line watched from the road towards north.
A
high-voltage power line was going north-south 300 metres east of the
former administration line.
