Lyman 5A scope

[OCM]

In one of my trades I acquired a Lyman 5A scope that was used by the military for snipers from WWl thru Korea on the '03 Springfield and Ml Garand. This scope is in good shape with mounts and clear optics. What is the value of this?

Well, you can get a new first class repro from MVA for $575.
Winchester A5 and B5 scopes seem to be in the same price range.
Lymans are thought to be nicer made than Winchesters. I could only find a couple for sale. One at auction with starting bid of $510, another with asking price of $850 which seems like a lot considering you can get a pretty nice Unertl or Fecker for that.
