Why thank you, m'dear! <P><BR>If Frodo was hit hard enough by a club, say by an Orc during the Moria scuffle, or if he had fallen on an outcropping of rock in Shelob's cave hard enough, the mithril could have been forced deep enough into his skin to actually break a few layers. I've had an injury like that before, and even for my melanin-rich skin, it left a nasty-looking scar for a few months. With Frodo's rather melanin-deprived skin (at least in the movie), it would have scarred even worse.
