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
