A Mace and A Fencing Foil (even though the fencing foil is probably the most likely for you to own I guess. Which might make it obvious to be the answer as well. Ooooh, don't you hate second guessing yourself.  )

Progress Report:
One of the correct items has now been mentioned.
Keep guessing.
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Bouncing Boy: try to take over the United Planets!!"

Yay me!
Hmm...
OK, as you may or may not be aware Chris and I are getting married (well, civilly partnered) in October. We've pretty much decided where it's going to be be held, but which of these possible venues for the ceremony and/or reception did we *not* look at?
1) Mere Hall (Bolton registry office)
2) Heaton Hall
3) The Lowry Theatre
4) Manchester Town Hall
5) The Holiday Inn (formerly the Moathouse) in Bolton
6) Worsley Hall

Remember : It's not technically a suckerpunch if you yell ''DEFEND YOURSELF SPROCKER!'' two seconds before you let him have it.

I have a model car on my desk. In a desk drawer I have a Legion of Super-Heroes comic book in which a car built by the same manufacturer is portrayed.
What type car?
Remaining choices.
(1) Porsche
(2) Buick
(3) Lincoln
(5) Packard
(7) Ferrari
(8) Studebaker
(I thought you'd get this on the first guess, Quirhino.)

I'm gonna try the Studebaker, cos it's such a great word, and you just don't get them in the UK.

I have a model of a '53 Starliner coupe in my office because it's related to the work I do. You didn't opt for the coffee-or-big-wet-kiss bonus of identifying the issue that features a picture of a Studebaker.

Go with the classics, I say:
3. Lord of The Rings
The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."
