its not a 1960 gibson pup, but without more info its hard to say what it is. white coil gibson pups are pretty rare after 1960

Not a patent, but a trademark and only valid in the US

Only the bobbins are original Gibson?

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay?

Those are NOT Gibson bobbins. Not vintage, not modern either.

You're getting duped. Send it back and ask for your money.

Gibson bobbins should have a square hole on top, with a circle stamped inside that. Also, the material does not look right. Now, maybe the pickup itself sound really good. That is possible. However, if you bought it because it was supposed to be an old Gibson, then no.
