The Dachau-style Trifo was worn from mid/late 1944 until the end of the war in 1945. This type of Trifo was discovered in 1945, along with various other SS insignia, at the SS-BW depot in Dachau. Since these Trifo examples share the same characteristics as other SS collar tabs from Dachau, they became known as the "Dachau-style Trifo."
Most Dachau Trifos on the market are in mint condition, as they almost certainly originated from the Dachau depot. This depot was looted by American soldiers in April 1945, with many insignia being taken as souvenirs.
