Yes, buffing is required, at least down to the silver plate under the gold, preferably back to the base metal - brass. It does need to be done carefully to preserve the size and shape, The best platers are not always the best at preparing (buffing) so it would be wise to send it to a good mp maker like Schilke who do excellent, careful preparation then get high quality plating on.
