General Information
Black anodized version of the first generation Dura-Ace labeled rear derailleur.  I don't see the markings on the back arm stating that it was known as the RD-7200 when this one was produced, but this design was known as the 7100 by the early 1980's.  
Guide pulley made of plastic, instead of the 7200 model which had stainless steel upper pulley, and 7100 has shorter cage than 7200 as well.
This DA-100 variant is designed with a different jockey wheel cage (see note below). The variant actually has a sub model number (DA-200), as per a Shimano tech doc, where it's listed alongside the standard variant (DA-100) in what I think was the first doc produced after release of the model, indicating that both variants were realised simultaneously. Despite this, the DA-100 seems to be more rarely found than the other.
This model was also available in silver.
