Paul is the great-grandson of Jean Baptiste Hanquet who in 1853 signed a letter from Sam Colt to the Liège Gun Trade stating the conditions under which they, Hanquet, on behalf of the famous consortium of 7 Liège gun makers of the Liège Gun Trade in Belgium, might manufacture Colt licensed revolvers according to his 1849 Belgian patent.
