No need for a spot check at all as he sorta waved it around to show it to everyone present, it just looks like a small pouch on a strap around his neck.
Sorry about not posting for a few days but the combination of ENWorld being down to me (and everyone else?) and my internet connection at home being broken since yesterday at lunch has got my hands tied. I'm going to call my ISP today at around 12 and see if I can get someone out today or tomorrow to fix it, then I'll post immediately.
