Mine is 11 1/2" long. I don't know if this is the normal size or maybe the Ultra model. The markings on mine are the same as yours, but no gold in the lettering. Hand guards are still made today. The gentleman from Kentucky, John Bugdon, sells them at the Southern and the Vintage Cup. I have them in every size from .410 to 8 gauge. I don't use them but can't resist the craftsmanship that goes into making them.
