No clue. Im sure somone on here knows something about them.
My guess is that it's a company that's no longer around. I just thought it was strange that I can't find anything out about it. It looks like an HP-C to me. I was curious if it was a privately branded Fuso Seiko manufactured brush? When I get it in the mail in a day or two I will compare the parts to my HP-C...
With the black handle and the serial number in that position it looks like it's from Olympos for someone else.

The engraving seems to date it as an older brush. I don't think there were as many knockoffs as there are today. Used to be just a handful of companies making airbrushes. That's why I guessed Fuso Seiko. It doesn't have the telltale "rings" on the cup like most new knockoffs.
If it's not a knock off, it's a knock off of a knockoff, it is identical to the one I had except of the colour of the handle, on the site where I found the photo I posted, there were four other photos of the same brush but two of those didn't have the rings and and three had and three had a had closed nozzle protector instead of the crown in photo I posted, it's definitely a knock off, not what you were hoping to hear but it is so I'm afraid.
The practice of knocking off began soon after the practice of making genuine articles, in other words as soon as something knew comes on the market, some one else is knocking it off, those silly little tow wheeled skateboard thong are probably a good example, but people have even been known to knock off crocodiles
Atlantis Airbrush sank into the ocean.
Or... if it is old, it could be a "hand piece". I'm leaning more towards it being like an Olympos or the Siki. Wishful thinking maybe
Where did you order it from, didn't the seller have anything to say about it? as soon as have look in the cup and the trigger housing and check the needle packing, you'll probably find the packing is weak rubber and the rest is badly tarnished, probably even black as result,
It's just for fun. Got it for a bargain. The guy knew nothing about it.
