Black Bare Knuckle Riff Raff Bridge Pickup

This was in a guitar I bought and I don't have the box for it.  I was told its a Crawler but I have since taken a DC resistance reading which comes in at 8.2 kΩ (and with Alnico 5s) - if it was a Crawler it would have been 15.4kΩ, so clearly not a Crawler.  

This was in a strat type guitar and the wires fitted just fine and I have not cut them (they are roughly  12 or 13 cms long at the max).

Pole spacing is about 52/53mm (middle to middle outside poles) measured with my steel ruler.

It has a very warm, full sound and splits brilliantly.  Bare Knuckle say the Riff Raff humbucker is based on the shorter rough cast Alnico V PAFs of 1960.

Screws included.

    You could measure the DC resistance to see if it's in the ballpark (should be ~15.4k) . Your description of the sound is right for it to be a Crawler.

    It’s a Riff Raff bump -  8.2 kΩ (so not even close to being Crawler, which is 15.4kΩ)
