Lets see if this can be accomplished without any pics!

Pro Staff is written on the top of the throat in itallics with Midsize on the side.
There is a red and yellow stripe.

Butt cap code is GOI and it is white with a red Wilson W.

The inside throat has only one sticker that says Weight / Oz. 11.6-12.3 Unstrung and Balanced 1.0-1.5 in. Headlight.

I can't see any red primer.

WELL!!!!!!

Stop with the insane question marks and exclamation marks. Pictures will do better than your rambling.

I think all China version comes with printed/painted info on the inner side of throat instead of stickers.

 

[IT WAS IN!!!]

from research I believe you have a windy city version

Thank you all I am now pretty sure this is the Chicago version which I am happy with.

I went out on a limb and bought a "used Prostaff 85" for $50, not knowing which version it was.

I was hoping for St. Vincent/Chicago, or maybe a Taiwan, I did not want a Chinese version.

Looks like I made out.

^^^^^ Tokyo, if it has a bumperguard it is not a Chicago.

I also believe that all Chicago version comes with NO bumper guard.

 

[drakulie]

^^^^ The first St. Vincents also had no bumperguard.

^^^^ The first St. Vincents also had no bumperguard.

That's why I don't think his ProStaff 85 is Chicago (while I'm not sure if the bumper guard from other versions can be put onto a Chicago).

....the plastic parts may have been replaced at some point....

 

[TokyopunK]

Ha I am a ******!!!!!!

I lied, there is no bumperguard, it was an optical illusion.
