Simple FG/SS hub question

I'm building a single speed cross bike. I've got a lot of non professional mechanic experience, and plenty of other bike-related experience, but my fixed gear/single speed experience is limited to riding a motobecane track a few times.

Recently I visited my LBS and asked for a "flip/flop" hub, hoping to get one that would be fixed one way and free wheel the other. After looking around online, I found out that there are some flip/flops that are fixed/free, and fixed/fixed. I could probably just call my LBS to ask, but they don't re open until Tuesday. My question: can any of you guys tell if this is fixed/free or fixed/fixed? I'll lace it either way, but I'd rather not lace it to a Cross rim if I don't plan on racing it.

Here's a pic:

It's a very basic Iro Cycles hub. No model number is stamped on it, and it came without a box or literature to tell me any info.

Thanks in advance.
