Wow, now that's a very good question indeed. A wand is not exactly a hand-me-down as a robe would be. Do you think they make "better" wands that might be more expensive or hard to come by? Such as with the brooms...i wonder if there would be an equivalent "Firebolt" wand? Perhaps Charlie wanted one of those, so he gave his old wand to his brother. But that is purely speculative of course. I can't think of any reason in canon that would prompt him to do this.
