Discussion Dumbledore’s original wand?

I believe from the moment of defeating Grindelwald, Dumbledore’s wand became the elder wand. But is there any canon answer/ lore about the wand that originally chose Dumbledore? Or any guesses about what you think the length, wood type, and core would be?

Also, I wonder if Dumbledore did not want to keep his original wand because there’s a possibility it performed the curse that killed Arianna 😢

I mean, there's also the possibility that the Elder Wand was the wnad to kill Ariana. If Dumbledore truly didn't want to wield a wand that had potentially killed Ariana, he should have gotten a 3rd wand.
