Yea its brass, I do not know in terms of treatement, the oil in your fingers may have already started corroding the metal, I've heard of some success coating the metal with a clear coat.

A few options, you could clear coat or get an at home gold plating kit. Other than that a can of Brasso to remove tarnish as they age and are handled. *Edit: A thin coating of mineral oil, linseed oil, or WD-40 Multi-Use can be effective in preventing tarnishing.
