As I said before- it's a collection of mismatched parts. It looks like made-in-Japan Schwinn headset parts, but with a gigantic Wald lock nut. All of that is covered in spray paint.
As Danno said, if you need replacements, you'll need to measure the old parts and hope that someone hasn't tried to make the incorrect parts work.
