In message # 110531 Tiggersong asks, " Does Wormy have the Mark?"

In Chapter 33, "The Death Eaters," of GOF (p. 559, British Edition)
one finds:

 "Voldermort bent down, and pulled out Wormtail's left arm; he forced
the 
sleeve of Wormtail's robes up past his elbow, and Harry saw something
upon 
the skin there, something like a vivid red tattoo -- a skull, with a
snake 
protruding from its mouth -- the same image that had appeared in the
sky at 
the Quidditch World Cup:  the Dark Mark.  Voldermort examined it
carefully, 
ignoring Wormtail's uncontrollable weeping.

"'It is back,' he said softly, 'they will all have noticed it. . .and
now, we shall 
see. . .now we shall know. . .'

"He pressed his long, white forefinger to the brand on Wormtail's
arm."

        Shot directly out of the canon, as it were.  I hope that
answers your 
question, Tiggersong.
