I agree his original wand would have been taken away/destroyed at that point
unless he'd managed to secrete it somehow, and there is no reason why he
would have thought of doing that (or unless one of the hit wizards on the
scene nabbed it as a trophy of war, perhaps).  However, Mr Ollivander
reminds me of the Saville Row tailors in a play I saw some years ago called
An Englishman Abroad, in which Guy Burgess, living in Russia after his
defection, sends back orders for some proper shirts, suits and ties via an
American actress he meets.  All the tailors, shirtmakers and bootmakers have
his measurements on file, none of them bat an eyelid about supplying him,
irrespective of what he's done, and all would die rather than betray a
customer's confidence.  So he might somehow be able to get a new wand -
obviously the Wizards didn't confiscate his assets when he went to Azkaban
(well, I can't see the Gringotts goblins letting anyone do anything like
that) so he can certainly pay for one - it'd be the fitting that would be
the problem.
