Weapons
Sting
Sting is the sword wielded by Bilbo and Frodo Baggins. It was made by the Elves of Gondolin in the First Age, and its blade glows blue if Orcs are near. It was found alongside the swords Glamdring and Orcrist during the events of The Hobbit when Bilbo and his companions came upon the hoard of the trolls they met earlier. More a dagger than a sword, Bilbo got the small sword to fit his size. After defeating the spiders of Mirkwood he named the sword "Sting". When Bilbo left the Shire in Lord of the Rings, he took Sting with him to Rivendell. Before the Fellowship set out from Rivendell, Bilbo gave Frodo his sword Sting and his mithril-shirt. Samwise Gamgee carries Sting for a while after leaving the supposedly dead Frodo, but later returns it to him.
Armour
Mithril-shirt
Mithril-shirt was a small chainmail shirt made of mithril. It was given to Bilbo Baggins by Thorin Oakenshield from the hoard of the dragon Smaug in the Lonely Mountain. When Bilbo left the Shire in Lord of the Rings, he took the Mithril-shirt with him to Rivendell. Before the Fellowship set out from Rivendell, Bilbo gave Frodo his sword Sting and his mithril-shirt.
