See the curisosities-page for this story.

Additional
information from Charles Darrieu in 2011: the cross on the horizontal
rock is the original and official bordermarker. The
pillar besides it was placed somewhere between 1949 and 1998 by the
border-commisioners Jean Sermet and his Spanish colleague M. Alija.
Because
this col can be reached by a mountain road from France, they
decided to indicate the borderline better with this pillar.
But it's not an official bordermarker. (source: "De quelques questions touchant l'Abornement frontalier 1949-1998" - Jean Sermet)

Information from Charles & Josette Darrieu: this bm was added on 4 and 6 july 1963, away from the main passage. The
placement of bm422, found in a worn out condition on 22-9-1962, was
considered to be be vulnerable by the Commission International des Pyrénées. |
