Heat, carefully applied to the tip top/ferrule NOT the cane with a heat gun or alcohol lamp should loosen them for removal.
The ferrules MAY be pinned. Look for a small pin that goes completely through the ferrule halves and the cane of the rod. You will need to punch this pin out first with a small diameter pin punch or something that will enable you to push it out far enough to grab with pliers. Be careful NOT to flatten the ferrule in the process.
I personally don't know of anyplace selling the old brass ferrules but I'd go with nickel silver ferrules. Try Golden Witch for parts.
