An original Lyman Alaskan might work as well. If I recall correctly, someone did a later production of that scope as well, which might have better quality glass and waterproofing.

Leupold 'Alaskan' same 7/8" dia and features, looks, etc.
Made in the 90's IIRC and great 'scope. I have a 2.5X version.

Simpson Ltd. has a KARL KAHLES, TELORAR 4X, marked JOH Springer, and an Oigee Berlin 2 1/2 X scope under Firearms Accessories, each listed at $300 and requiring some cleaning and other work.
They also have a Lyman Alaskan 7/8" tube scope listed at almost $900. I have no connection to Simpson.

Beware of some of these older scopes. While fine pieces of equipment finding parts and/or someone to do proper repair work is difficult. I have an older Swarovski fixed power that needs work and no one stateside will touch it including the factory. Proceed cautiously if you go this route.

IMHO any internal adjustment scope is going to look out of place.
One of the early Stevens scopes would look nice and period correct…..couple right now on Ebay.
