Who ever you find that's willing to take on the project, more than likely will soft soldered it. To do it proper, the barrels needs to be stripped & the lugs brazed or silver soldered & then the top & bottom ribs can be soft soldered back on. The Parker "lump breach block" is probably the weakest of the various lug types unless it's brased or silver soldered like the original Parkers. Other types of barrel lugs have a different design ( chopper lump, demi-block dovetail, mono block) & can be soft soldered and are very strong because of the different lock up design.
Before I hand the barrel to a gunsmith, I would find out how he plans to fix it. Braze or silver solder, or soft soldered.
Also, if you look at the solder joint you can see the black spots, indicating they got the joint too hot & burnt the flux leaving a weak solder joint.
