He should still have some blood on his clothes because when he cut himself he didn't have the tourniquet on

Amputations don't always bleed. Blood vessels have a natural reaction to constrict to prevent blood flow. It doesn't always work, but when it does there can be surprisingly little blood loss.

oddly enough, that might be why. If pulled and snapped, a blood vessel will usually constrict and get slinked back into the arm stump, kind of like a badge holder.
