You would measure the steerer tube from the fork crown to the tip of the steerer tube.
That fork might be custom to the frame. But luckily for you tange made a very similar fork which was paired with a lot of frames during that time, making them very common and cheap. They are all threaded 1" though.

There are two ways to measure fork length: axle-to-crown and straight-line length parallel to the steering axis. The length of the steerer tube is also important. Rake, dropout OLD, and a number of other parameters are also important.
L in this drawing is the straight-line length, while AC is the axle-to-crown length.
