Can this mirror be refurbished?

All the pitting can be repaired EXCEPT what's on the top of the circumference of the mirror body. I think that's too deep. Only way to find out for sure is send it to a rechroming place. The chip I am confident can be repaired......those bad pits, I just don't know. I know a LITTLE about this, because when I was a kid, we used to send bumpers and small parts to Atlanta on the Greyhound bus to get rechromed. There were a few they could not warranty, because the pits were too deep.

I watched a car show several years ago where they took a bunch of stuff to be chromed to the place in Tennessee that several car shows use (Advanced Plating I think). One of the items was a badly pitted pot metal piece. They stripped the chrome off, sanded the part smooth, treated the pits with something to keep them from coming back, copper plated it, fixed the really bad pits with solder, and then copper plate / sand / copper plate / sand... Eventually the part was smooth, but it was a lot of work and probably very expensive.
