I can't give you the names of any dealers of Indian Wars relics off the top of my head ...but I've found that they are easy to find by doing a Google search for such items. Just type "Indian Wars bullets" (or cartridges, etc.) into the search-box. By the way, please note the quotation-marks around the words you want to search for. Typing exactly what I wrote, "Indian Wars bullets" with the quotation-marks, will cause Google to find that exact PHRASE ...instead of finding 86 million examples of the SEPARATE words (bullets and wars and indians) on the internet.

Thanks Pete, I gave that a try a few days ago, it led me only to Civil War dealers who also may have Indian Wars items, but that did not lead anywhere either.

That's strange, at least in my experience with Google-searching. When I was doing research on what some people claim is an Indian Wars era Sharps cartridge bullet -- and other people claim is a civil war era Whitwoth bullet -- my Google searching turned up quite a few websites for Indian Wars collectors and dealers which showed Indian Wars cartridges. (I'll attach one of several photos of IW cartridges which that Google-searching turned up.)
The only other suggestion I have for you is to go to Ebay and key an eye on its Collectibles > Militaria > Indian Wars (1866-97) category. Regards, Pete [P.C. George]

It did show me a lot of things like that, but those things were not for sale.

Okay then, try Ebay's category for Indian Wars. I checked it for you, and there are currently 186 items listed. Of course, you can't always trust Ebay sellers. ;-) I'd say that considerable caution is advised.
With that in mind... here's some items in the Collectibles > Militaria > Indian Wars (1866-1897) > Original Period Items category on Ebay which seem to be the real thin (not artificially-aged modern Reproductions. Original RARE Cavalry Belt Buckle 1874 Indian Wars - eBay (item 280429368504 end time Dec-02-09 16:54:34 PST) And a nice grouping of relics: Indian Wars Crossed Sabers ,Buckle, Insignia - eBay (item 140364067935 end time Dec-05-09 17:24:27 PST) Regards, Pete [P.C.
