I imagine he would be delighted by an unusual and therefore "tricky" customer. ^^ I'm not sure about wand lore in general, but with Harry Potter wands, they seem to be based more on personality of the witch or wizard rather than things like being right or left handed, or ambidextrous. So firemagic is probably right that the question is simply to help start with a smaller selection.

The Harry Potter wiki has some interesting information about wands. Wand Lore and more specifics on the "laws" of wands. This guy actually makes wands, so his lore is probably more general than specific to a fandom, he even has a book about it!

And this forum is for Harry Potter wands, it has a lot of interesting information about wand woods, cores, etc.
*grumbles at my wand woods and their characteristics*

On another note, and apologies if this has been answered, or come up in a mission, I haven't read many Harry Potter missions. I was thinking as I went to answer the question, "If I ever do a Harry Potter mission that ends up in Diagon Ally, I'm going to have my agent go get their own wand." And that left me wondering if that was allowable. So if one's agents were in a Harry Potter mission could they go purchase their own wands? I know several agents have Sue wands they've nicked from defeated Sue's but could an agent buy their own, or for that matter anything else out of wizarding shops, if they had some downtime in Diagon Ally? If so, would they have to be a witch or wizard agent to pull it off, or would it be enough that they were in disguise as a student, and therefore a witch or wizard in world? As to the lack of pay that cause most agents to just pick up free stuff from a Sue over buying it, they could either nick it from the Sue, or if they had a small reserve of their own, we know Gringotts changes money, so it would purely be a problem of whether the world recognized them as magical and therefore Ollivander wouldn't be thrown for a loop when muggles come looking for wands, or if it were possible, but only for witch or wizard agents.
