David I saw your discussion on the other BBS. And I certainly agree with you on the difference between the brazing and the soldering process. And I agree that some barrels are soldered using a soft solder with silver content. What the maker chooses to call that process is apparently not definitive in some cases.
Chuck in the discussion over on the 16ga.com that David references someone had called Perazzi. The discussion was mostly about soft solders getting hot and coming loose. Anyway as I recall Perazzi had one model that that had been silver soldered. At the time I took it to mean soft soldered with silver/tin/lead solder to provide a higher melting point and more strength than lead/tin solder. Now I am not so sure that is what was meant - it may have meant brazed with silver solder.
Best,
Mike
