Good god, of all the things to obsess over. Why would anybody find rationalising this out to be a challenge? The continuity error would be in having the same staff: it's just a bit of wood, not special in itself. And it's actually a 60-year lapse from the events of The Hobbit to those of LOTR. Gandalf uses his staff in a variety of ways, including as a walking aid. Wear and tear, ya know?
He's been in Middle Earth a couple of thousand years. My guess is the landscape's liberally strewn with discarded wizard staffs.![]()
