I've gotta say that whilst the mithril mail could have been made for an elven prince of mirkwood, Legolas probably isn't Thranduil's only son. For one thing, Legolas was sent to the Council of Elrond and would Thranduil have sent the heir to Mirkwood in such a time. I doubt it!

And it also seemes to me that Legolas doesn't have the 'heir' kind of aura around him. When Gandalf falls in Moria, Aragorn takes control. Now, surely if Legolas was an heir, he would want to be in charge. But it is obvious that he would rather follow than be followed.

So I'd have to say that the likelihood of the coat being made for Legolas is a bit far-fetched.

(I know the reasoning isn't exact but its a kinda gut feeling thing)
