    I would not limit it to mithril, but precious metals is probably good.

    I'm not sure that it is fair to say that Tom or Radagast played no part in the War of the Ring based upon what we read. Certainly we can say they should have played a greater one - but Gandalf knew...

    I always gave Gandalf a little leeway there and assumed that he could guess, but the tensions of the moment led him to not guess. Morale was bad enough without him making a list of the bad things...

    I'd imagine the degree of ceremony would be proportional to the rank. Most likely not a big deal is made about LTJG - the increase is fairly minor, and it is expected that everyone would make it.
