…the tile says it all (almost).
Seller says he measures 12,7k, has bought it around mid 80s himself.

In the 80s DiMarzio had the HS-1, HS-2 and HS-3 models but I believe they were all higher DC resistance. Even though their output was rather low - even lower than standard single coils. I guess they had to use very thin wire to get enough turns on both coils.

I have to check the old catalogue whether this could be one of the Virtual Vintage models which are now discontinued in favor of the Area series.

Hey Stephan, thanks a lot for your thoughts on this!
Please don’t make any efforts, I was just curious with that pickup.
