Arquebus- you should be able to darken the silver solder with cold blue wihhout damaging the bluing, if you are careful.

Thanks. I have tried Oxphoblue and it has no effect. That really isn't silver solder, It's silver braze.

Silver solder is mostly tin with a very small addition of silver. Silver braze is typically about 56% silver and is worked at 1200 degrees F (dull red). Also pretty expensive.
