So it's the usual stuff with just a little bit silver added. I would
guess that it would have to be a very very tiny amount not to take the
melting pint over what can be achieved with a soldering iron.

Alloys are strange. It's perfectly possible for an alloy to have a lower
melting point then any of the pure metals.

I think that's universal. So far as I know, every alloy melts at a
temperature below a straight line connecting the melting points of the two
components (for 2-component alloys at any rate.) The lowest possible
melting point is known as a eutectic alloy.
