Heathens we are not. The Elves were the equals of the Dwarves in the smithying of weapons and beautiful things, and could mine with the best of the Naugrim. It was, as stated in The Silmarillion, "...in the making of mail [...] their work had no rival...". The dwarves outstripped the Eldar only in the making of armour, nothing else. After all, Elves were taught by Aulë himself in the art of metalworking.

Also, why are you arguing about the merits of dwarven vs. elven armour on a suggestion about weapons and arms made of silver?
