which scope would be the best choice for A4?

[Johnny in Texas]

I have seen Lymans Alaskans and Weaver 330's that were in bad condition and were Parkerized to give them a fresh military look. Don't go by that finish alone. I have parked lots of things that needed a new finish from lantern parts to tools and yes a Lyman Alaskan and an M82. They are simple to take apart with the correct tools.

Johnny, the parkerized finish combined with the drawing numbered caps seems to be more than a coincidence but that's just my opinion.

Numbered caps were used in Lyman commercial production post war. It would be cool looking but USGI I doubt that. If the s/n was in the low 5K range maybe. People had been trying to Militarize Alaskans for years and that is one way to do it.

you going to shoot it? that might make a difference to me, which one has best optics, pretty scope that you can not see anything would not make sense
