Honesty might not be the best policy here. Cancel the holiday and come up with some cock and bull story about how you got ripped off by some African Prince in a pyramid selling scheme.

[="earnger, post: 742326, member: 3181"]Wasn't even going to open the thread as I thought it was someone looking for a sub. Glad I did though and thanks for the heads up. Now going to persuade Mrs Earnger it was a good purchase.[/QUOT

I wouldn't have known it was for sale if it hadn't been for the OP. A bit of an impulse buy but couldn't resist. These things don't come up very often.

Just seen this, but didn't have the necessary funds at the moment anyway, so I'm delighted it has gone to a good home.
Excellent piece of our history in safe hands, well done earnger.

Well done Earnger. It never fails to amaze me the efforts we go to when something associated with The Rangers is involved.
I'm jealous Earnger!
Seriously, well done and great to hear it's gone to a good home.

Does anyone have an info on this? A friend of mine found it while clearing out an attic.
A cherished real piece of major RFC history going to a real Rangers fan.
Who wants to keep it in his family.
Who will lend it to the club for display.
Amazing. Something to be celebrated probably more than a goal last night.
Well done earnger.
I don’t think we have to tell you what your avatar should be eh?

This 9ct gold and enamel medal offers you the chance to own a unique piece of Rangers history. It was awarded to midfielder Andrew Sharp after Rangers won the 1898-99 Scottish league with a 100 percent record, winning all 18 league games. This is the only occasion such a fete has been achieved. It comes in its original fitted presentation case and is one of the rarest pieces of Rangers history available. Items like this do not get offered very often. There is a buy it now price it you want to avoid the auction process. The medal is also advertised elsewhere so I reserve the right to end the auction. I will post only to the UK with adequate insurance costs that will need a signature. Collection in person is available as is personal delivery if close enough for expenses cost from east Scotland. Happy bidding and good luck. Any questions please don't hesitate.
This is freaky, I'm sure I've seen this medal before, in fact held it in my hands. I owned a computer shop in South Africa early 2000 and this bloke came into the shop and we got chatting. I told him I supported Rangers and he told me he had a medal he was given by a family member. The next day he brought it into my shop.

Maybe the club have the original medal and not some copy that a dude has been punting about ebay looking for a sucker?
Only joking @earnger congratulations sir, a fine purchase.

The woman that it belongs to is about 90 now. So I suppose the 30's onward would be a possibility.

indeed, 25 goals that season, 23 in the league. The medal owner scored 4.
Did you see the following info in the previous link from the sale at Christie’s in 2001.
The above medal was awarded to Andrew Sharp. Rangers won the 1898-99 Scottish League Championship this season with 36 points, Hearts being runners-up on 26
Andrew Sharp played only a handful of games for Rangers in season 1898-99. However, these appearances included four in the League Championship, scoring three goals. Sharp played inside-forward for Rangers on an infrequent basis from season 1897-98 to 1901-02, mostly in Inter-City League matches and friendlies and made a total of 33 appearances for the club

Wee eevie is going to boot your stones
What a great piece of Rangers history to own, well done @earnger. It makes you wonder how many items like this are out there that are lying in attics or cupboards. For example, it would be interesting to know if all the medals for that season are accounted for. It would be very difficult to find out I suppose.

That is absolutely fantastic mate, well done.
As an aside, it is utterly shameful that the club were not interested in buying this, disgusting in fact.
