It was my impression loop was usually brazed on these .That said I have seen and relayed. lot of loose ribs on Italian guns Perazzi was a good example with the vented side ribs .These seemed to suffer from a severe lack of solder ,I suppose so as not to get excess unsightly blobs that could be seen through the vents . Beretta's seemed to have plenty but it had not been hot enough to adhere properly ,it did seem to take a lot more heat than normal to un-solder , weather this was "lead free" solder I dont know .
