Is there any place where I can get a historically correct mold for .44-40?

Are you thinking about the old original "IDEAL bullet mold & reloading combination tool"?
In that case I think eBay and gunshows are your best bet.

If on the other hand you want a modern bullet mold that casts an authentic flat-nose bullet with proper grease grooves, then LYMAN still makes those.

Lyman 427098 is a historically correct 44-40 mold. 2 grease grooves and no crimping groove.  Mine usually drops wheel weights at about 200 gr, pure lead closer to 205gr.

Unfortunately it seems that that mold is out of production.
