That's interesting. Thanks. I have surmized that the first Raleigh Professional in 1969 had no Mark designation, the 1970 was Mark II, the 1971 was Mark III and those from 1972 on were designated as Mark IV's. Am I correct? Jim
p.s. My experience is mostly limited to 1970 and 1971. I bought and sold 7 or 8 Professionals and Internationals in the early 1990's before I whittled it down to my one Professional.
