Identifying Fralins

I just picked up a '97 60's Relic strat that the seller claims have Fralin replacements. The seller (not the original owner) doesn't know what type of Fralins they are. I have no reason to doubt him (Southworth guitars is pretty reputable) however, was wondering what type of Fralins these might be. All the pole pieces are flush except for the D which are raised. Anyone?

Sean

FYI- I said I would never buy a Relic but this axe oozes cool! I love it!

From the Lindy Fralin site

F.A.Q.

I bought my pickups used. How can I tell if I have Fralin pickups?

Our pickups are not marked with our name. All of our dealer's are reputable and can be trusted. We will be glad to verify our product if you send it along with prepaid postage plus $5.00 OR $15.00 for Fed-Ex plus verification.

Put them on an ohm meter and tell me what the ohms are and I'll tell ya what Fralins they are.

The raised D is his hybrid stagger. Lindy now puts little paper stickers on the PU wire leads. They have the model and wind amount on them. I believe he just started tagging them recently, though. Sounds like a nice Strat!!
