Christmas Tree Inkfeed

Back when you were a kid, did you ever draw a Christmas tree with jagged boughs? To pen collectors, the original Parker Duofold inkfeed looks like a kid’s drawing of a Christmas tree. The jagged edges of the feed were designed to help hold excess ink and redirect it to the nib. Other people refer to the same Duofold inkfeed as a “spear” feed, as it also looks like a primitive, barbed spear point.
