This is a shell guard for my rapier, protecting the back of the hand better.

Beautiful. What brand rapier is it? I like the big hook on the back.

The rapier hilt was made by James "the Just" who has now retired from making them. 
(See it here on his website <http://www.jamesthejust.com/Period Rapiers.htm> listed as #57.)
You can find another version of this historical design here: <http://therionarms.com/reenact/therionarms_c1099.html>

The blade itself is just a Hanwei 42 inch rapier blade...a bit heavy. I'd like to replace it with a 40 inch, I think, or get a blade from from Castille Armory in Oregon.

I just found out that Castille Armory (find their new website) makes this same hilt.
