From this, the armour can be made. Tolkien never said that it was pure mithril in bilbo' coat. Also, mithril weapons should be removed. According to Tolkien's lore, mithril weapons never existed.

''I don't care, really, if mithril is removed altogether. I don't care for mining and I never spend the time to mine for mithril. However, I vote against that because I know that a great majority of people would not like the total abolishment of mithril altogether.'' Nope. No mithril alloy. The Dwarves alone (and perhaps the Numenoreans) knew how to make the mithril used for armour. But you can be damn sure that it wasn't with iron. Fine. But I don't think that pure mithril would just be lying around, and Bilbo picks it and no Dwarves protest until Gandalf says "hey guys, that's mithril Frodo's wearing" and Gimli's mouth hits the floor.
