Regardless, no modern nation aside from the Dorfs can make practical use of mithril. Well, I believe the mithril helmets were gifts from the Dwarves, but it can go either way. Still: 'the Dwarves could make of it a metal, light and yet harder than tempered steel'. It doesn't mention anyone else, though the Citadel Guards quote does vaguely indicate the Numenoreans had the skill.
