Is this a counterfeit Duncan TB-4 pickup?

Bought on Reverb from a shop on Reverb listed as a oem Seymour Duncan TB-4.
Just received it and I’m concerned it’s a fake.

I’ve never seen a black baseplate and it doesn’t feel like metal.

any thoughts here?

It's legit. The black back means the pickup came as OEM in a guitar. Duncan was doing that for a while. The JB that came in my Jackson SL1 was like that.

That’s a relief. Thank you!
