My former experience is....................go to the local water lab that samples wells/tests ground water. If you ask politely, one can get a 1/4 liter of Nitric if you tip the lowly lab tech with a specimen of meteorite and spend a few moments explaining what an interesting thing it is to be a meteorite collector...and an etching person! They get nitric many times in 5 gallon containers so a cup or so isn't a big thing.
Sometimes a 12 pack is the route to go but a REAL meteorite specimen will usually work.

Okay, now I know that I can't procure concentrated nitric acid without being employed by an institution of higher learning---unless I want to lie to the suppliers and tell them I'm a Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at Anthrax University or something. I'm no good at lying.
says who?
just open your phone book to chemical supliers and call one up - there are plenty of places that have retasil sales for lab chemcials - you might not find one locally if you are in the sticks, but it's far from difficult to get.
