Can anyone identify the rifle Elvis is holding? It appear to be of Austrian origin.

Some sort of black powder rifle?
 
What I can tell for sure is it has twin triggers and appears to be a drilling. So probably European.
 
European combination gun would be my guess, with German claw mounts.
 
Hahndrilling with long sideplates, old even in the 50s.
 
Elvis was fan of python revolvers.
He loved giving pythons for present to his friends.
 
He probably picked it up when he was stationed in the armored units in Germany . A Hahn drilling. Stock carvings look Bavarian style and the schutzen style trigger guard also

Jake, Sorry to bug you again. I was wondering if you could share a. couple actual pics of this crossbow with me?

Xpedition Archery USED Scrapeline390X Sniper Gray Crossbow XACW1001 - Light Wear - Needs Bolt/Arrow Guide Spring UA5689​

If it is in a decent shape, would you be willing to sell it for $100 shipped? IS it missing the retention spring that goes over the bolt?
Thank you Ferenc

Good morning John, I just read your setup procedure for the northstar duplicator ator. I found it very hand and I did learn some things. I have the same machine and I am having a problem i can not figure out and was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.
