WW II replica scopes?

I have two Springfield 1903A3's, I bought through CMP. I am thinking about mounting a scope on one and keeping the other with iron sights.
My question is: Does any company make replica WW II scopes? I want to keep the rifle looking as original as possible.

Thanks, Fat Man

What are you planning, a fake/repro 03-A4?

You can probably find a Weaver 330C without government markings and maybe an old style Redfield mount and come up with something like this

If you don't want full authenticity, Leupold tried a revival of the Lyman Alaskan with better lens coatings and centered adjustments. They dropped it due to lack of sales but you could probably find one. It would look right on an old rifle.

Then the bolt handle alterations...

Yes, I am going for the look of an A4. It would be for target and just for looks. I do not plan on selling it or creating a collectable rifle. Just something for me to do.
