Type of Solder?

Does anyone know if Parker used a lead/tin soft solder to lay the top rib or did they use a silver solder of some type?

I assume they used a higer temp solder to join the barrels and attach the lug or would that have been a soft solder too?

So for modern repair, relaying a top rib, do people use a plain lead/tin solder or is a low temp silver solder like Brownell's Hi Force 44 preferred?

Thanks for any info you can share.
