Now that I think back to jewelry-making, annealed silver was very soft (especially after soldering, etc). So upon reflection it's not that surprising that pure silver is as soft as lead in some cases.
Used to use a bead blaster to harden it up in order to work with after soldering. the difference between annealed pure silver and "hardened" silver in terms of harness is substantial
