Nekkid!Spike question

[elisi]

I bet that headline will get me some attention! ;)

But to get to the point: I was watching the cryptscene from 'As You Were' a few weeks ago (I was trying to gather arguments to convince someone that Spike wasn't The Doctor) and studying Spike closely (as you do...) I noticed something I'd never seen before. He had a scar on his chest from where Glory cut him. Now my question is... does he always have this scar? I'd really love to sit down with my S6 and S7 dvds and watch all the shirtless!Spike scenes or trawl through screencap sites, but sadly I don't have the time. So, if anyone has the time or has noticed the scar on other occasions would you mind telling me? I'm all curious now... because if it's only there in AYW, is it then a deliberate reference back to what he did in 'Intervention'?

Will stop now, before I disappear completely into the land of odd theories!

Throws in my 2 cents worth. I'm betting it's a real JM scar because I've noticed other ones here and there. In fact with his short short hair I've noticed one in his hair. He's on record as not being the world's biggest angel in his younger days so I'm betting that ME just took advantage of it being in a convenient place.
Of course, I may have to "research" this some more "cough".

Oh, thank you! :)

And I'd be more than interested in hearing what your research leads to...

Here's a good example of what I was talking about : http://www.screencap-paradise.com/caps/displayimage.php?album=77&pos=139 He's got several scars on that shoulder and I always notice them when this episode is on.
You can also see a few possible scars on his back in this :

Ah, research.

Oh, thank you so much. This is all turning out very interesting indeed! ;)

I agree, similar to the Cordelia falling on a rebar instance. Actually, it's funny you should bring this up because a few weeks ago when seeing this crypt scene what caught my attention were the scars on his back (where he's talking to Riley). I simply assumed the same things, that they're JM's scars that they didn't bother to cover up.

the scars on his back
I'm so going to re-watch the whole thing at some point... *sigh*
