Send exact measurement s in 64ths or better 1000ths of an inch of the OD of the male ferrule that fits your missing female to macsrods@yahoo.com.
It is chrome platted brass .
Your rod is Japanese.
I recommend you replace with a new pair of matching ferrules , $2 at the rod building mail order outfits
But if you want I have parts and will look around.
Luck,
