1" threaded. Don't recall where I sourced it from, might have been ebay. I didn't realize it was a Batavus branded product until this thread. IIRC, it's actually a Shimano product, something like "HPX-10".

I'm not still using it, since it wasn't effective at what it was supposed to do, wasn't a very smooth headset, and was ugly and clunky, I swapped it out for a regular headset. A ~$30 headset was far smoother than the Batavus/Shimano locking one.
