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

You have the wrong person. I have no idea what you are talking about..

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
