There we see again how dificult it is to invent some thing in addition to JRR Tolkiens story.
The chapter about the ruin of Doriath was in many parts an editorial invention by Christopher Tolkien. In the original the Nauglamír was made for Thingol in Menegroth by the Dwarves from the hord of Nargothrond that was brought to thingol completly by Húrin.
Of course Húrin needed some help for the transprot and it seems from what little JRR Tolkien had written about that ocassion, that he would have used Asgon and his outlaws of Hithlum as companiens of Húrin.
For the story as it is in the Silmarillion as published I would simply say: It was the most renowend singel trinket in the Dragon hord.

P.S.: The Dragon-Helm was a heirloom of the house of Hador. Húrin would not have given it to anyone if he had have a chance to recover it. But there was no chance. The Helm does in the Story as it is dispear after the destruction of the Dor-Cúrathol. Tolkien planed to bring it farther on through the story and to let Túrin waer it when he meets Glaurung (in Nargothrond and in Brethil). But he did not write these versions of the story. And if he had done so I would imaging that either it would have been buried with Túrin or Mablung would have tacken it with him back to Doriath.
