Corrected entry: When Grindelwald is shown stealing the elder wand in one of the original movies, he was a much younger man that he is in "Beasts." And the battle between him and Dumbledore was much later. But he doesn't have the elder wand when impersonating Graves.

Correction: Of course he's not using the Elder wand. If he was impersonating Graves, he would need to use Graves' wand, else questions would be raised. Grindelwald was a boy when he stole the wand from Gregorovich and then went on his reign of terror across Europe. His battle with Dumbledore didn't happen until the 40's.
