From the Ithaca link above...
Quote:
An early customer was J.B. Duke’s American Tobacco monopoly, which ordered 10,000 guns in 1901. That enabled Ithaca Gun to double its operations with a 90-foot building expansion, according to the company’s historian, Walter Claude Snyder. Another less savory customer was Argentina’s right-wing government of the 1970s “Dirty War” period, which favored “Itaka” riot guns, according to a 1976 Ithaca New Times report.

I question the Argentine Government being "less savory" than J.B. Duke.
