Where'd you get them?
It's a full carbon tapered (1.25" to 1.5" steerer) fork. From the Diamondback website:
It's part of the Podium frameset for the Kelly Benefit Strategies cycling club in Baltimore.

Thanks for the info. I actually picked them up at a pawn shop. Its been a while since I've ridden (back when aluminum was hot) and I've never picked up a set of forks that weigh less then my old seat used to so I picked it up hoping to eventually build around them. Any idea what these retailed for? Thanks for all the help

Technically it would be alright to reuse the fork. Just make sure that the frame+headset that you're going to use it for is designed to be used with a tapered fork. Also, the steerer should be long enough to fit the total stack height (headtube + stem clamp + spacers) of the bike.
It would be awkward at best - mixing the fork's graphics with a different frame. Unless you would want to strip it and repaint it.
