Lead pipe connection

Question

What is the best connector for lead to copper? Is 25 mm ( for lead) and 15 ( mm for copper) stopcock could install to kitchen? If so then I wonder if that olive could prevent leaking from lead pipe or we need to use others type of ring washer? I afraid to use compression fitting to lead pipe as I am not sure if it is suitable  for lead pipe ot not? Could we do soldering between lead and copper pipe?

Many thanks in advance

lead lock fitting for connection of lead to copper, there are several different sizes, you may need to take a piece of the lead pipe with you to get correct size, or if you can find an old plumber who can connect lead to copper with a wiped joint ,it has to be pointed out that most water boards will advise and ask you to remove lead pipework.
