If this is true, how or when did Dumbledore gain the allegiance of the Elder wand? By defeating Gregorovitch? It is never said whether the wandmaker was the master of the Elder wand or if he gained through the same means as Grindelwald. I guess it would be the later, since Grindelwald could have simply gained mastership of the wand by defeating/killing the wandmaker. 
 

 Kemper:
 When Grindelwald said he was never the true master of the Wand, I think he meant that figuratively. He was obsessed with possessing it since childhood and even when he took it from Gregorovitch he was obsessed with keeping it. So with decades in Nurmengard to dwell on defeat, he realized that he was never master of the Wand. The Wand was the master of him.
