Bm420bis was placed in 1997 at the "Passage de la Lègne" after the Spanish had discovered that the French IGN-maps showed the border too far to the south.

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.

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.
