No need to take anything apart to check. It's clearly a threaded headset as evidenced by the hex head top bearing and locknut. The threadless stem is attached to an adapter of this type.

My guess is threaded with threaded to threadless adapter, but that's just a guess and probably a bad one at that.

Ah, that would explain it - I was wondering why it had a locknut. I'd like a quill stem so that's good news. Thanks everyone!
