I don't think there is any definitive proof in canon, but at the end 
of CoS we know DD at least thinks Malfoy had much more than just 
Riddle's diary. "I would advise you, Lucius, not to go giving out 
any more of Lord Voldemort's old school things." Whether he was 
given the items by Voldemort himself or simply is a very shrewd 
collector...who knows? I, for one, am dying to know what else Lucius 
has hidden in that secret chamber at Malfoy Manor!
