Your English is fine. Value would be in the wallet of the collector. You might want to connect with Heritage Auctions, Dallas TX they have a number of qualified appraisers. Welcome to the board. Others here might have a better answer or lead. Also, it might help if you had the name of the ancestor who took it from the dead Indian.
Regards,
Tom

Volker,
Contact the battlefield. Ask for Gerald Jasmer... I believe he is the park historian. You can e-mail him at...
jerry_jasmer@nps.gov
... or call him at...
406-638-2621
If nothing else, he may be able to tell you what you have and possibly where to go to have it appraised. Jasmer is very helpful. Tell him everything you know about it, then let us know, here, what you find out.
Best wishes,
Fred.
