Draco, of course, does not know the history of the wand, and is unaware that it has shifted allegiance to him. Dumbledore then carried the wand until it was, in turn, captured from him by Draco Malfoy. Grindelwald used that as the core weapon in his war against the Wizarding government in Europe, eventually falling to Dumbledore in 1945. The wandmaker Gregorovitch claimed to have found it and was supposedly studying its secrets so that he could replicate it before he managed that, however, it was stolen from him by Gellert Grindelwald.
