Members of the USMF Community:

The administration was forced to suspend the account of community member Pizzamilitaria


It has been brought to the attention of the USMF Administration staff that this member was involved with selling messed with / enhanced items. A few members on USMF's Facebook page and some other Facebook militaria groups have been tracking the activities of 22 year old Vincent Alexander, AKA "Pizzamilitaria" for a few months and just brought it all to the surface publicly this week in a very detailed write-up. In short, he was caught red handed creating and modifying UNIS marked items, a Japanese Flag, the Raider helmet, and a Scabbard for a bayonet by adding names, markings, and/or attributions and claiming them to be original. He was confronted on the USMF Facebook page, and on another Facebook page. He built a weak defense on the USMF FB page which was debunked by some members with keen eyes. He eventually stopped responding and blocked those that confronted him, deleting the thread he started on the USMF FB group. As far as the fakes themselves- He posted some of the items in his possession once he bought them, and then again after he physically etched or wrote names or other info onto them. He has since deleted all of the photos on his various accounts to cover the scheme up. Also, using a Sharpie to make UNIS markings was also not helping his case.
