I don't know the actual specs, but they are very different pickups both in the materials and building processes used.

As far as I know the sh-1 it is a 59' PAF you can buy as If you were in the year 1959 when this pickups (the real PAFS) were firstly made. The antiquity it is a serie when you can buy a real PAF as if it was made 35 years aqo. They simulate the ageing process weaking the magnet and shodding the nickel cover so it looks, feels and plays like and old PAF.

Of course the ANTQUITY series offers a better contruction quality (and I guess tone, but this is a personal taste) and the ageing it is only simulated. You aren't buying an almost broken pickup...
