Gandalf's Lost Property
I can't find any convincing evidence that Gandalf still had Glamdring after his return, and rescue by Gwaihir from Zirak-Zigil.
We know for certain that he had a staff, because he has it at Edoras. We also know that this is a new staff, since his old one was broken on the Bridge of Khazad-Dűm. We aren't told how he got it. Also, I can't remember any mention of his pipe after his return, unless maybe it is mentioned in The Quest of Erebor, Unfinished Tales (which I don't think it is). Is it possible that after his return, Gandalf is closer to his original status as a Maia, and no longer needs either his sword or his smoke?
