The Mouth of Sauron has just left Hobbiton.
The Horn of Buckland

In the chapter in ROTK, "The Scouring of the Shire", when the 4 Travellers decided to raise the Shire, as Sam was riding to the Cottons, Merry blew 2 horns : (a) the Rohan horn that Eomer and Eowyn gave him, and (b) the Horn of Buckland.

How did Merry come by the Horn of Buckland ? There was no mention of him taking it with him when the hobbits left to go through the Old Forest at the start of the Quest - and no record of them detouring to Buckland when they arrived back in the Shire after the Ring had been destroyed.

A continuity error from JRRT ?
