Ok, no harm in trying a polish first and see how I get on, decide on the replate after. I've been meaning to have a chat with an engraving place near me that can use lasers based on a photo. Not sure if they'll be interested, if it's prohibitively expensive, or even possible, but I have a fantasy that I can get them replated and the engraving freshened up afterwards based on a photo of the good one.
