This compact all-metal rosary is rugged, functional, and portable. It has a meaningful history, as it is a replica of the service combat rosaries issued by the government to soldiers, sailors, and flying aces during WWI and WWII. Now with slightly larger Our Father beads, the WWI Battle Beads rosaries are the closest replica available to the vintage service combat rosaries from 1916!
These rosaries are quite strong, do not tangle, are small and portable, and very easy to carry in your pocket. The chains are brass with silver patina which do not rust, do not tangle, and have a nice weighty feel.
At 21" long, they can be worn. This style has a quality Miraculous Centerpiece and Italian Pardon Crucifix.
Thank you and God Bless.

- 【HISTORIC DESIGN】The Historical based design of the WWI Battle Beads military style combat rosary is inspired by the vintage 1916 WWI service combat rosary. The vintage rosaries were handed out to soldiers, sailors, and flying aces in the World War I era over 100 years ago. Our rosaries very closely reproduce the historical rosary design. It is beautiful yet made to withstand the harsh environments of war.
- 【CRAFTSMANSHIP】These WWI Battle Beads military style combat rosaries are handmade by the Rugged Rosaries’ artisans in our Texas studio since 2012. They are made exactly as the originals in 1916. We use brass ball chains with silver patina. They are strong, non-magnetic, non-corrosive, and weighty feeling. The Our Father beads are slightly larger to aid your meditative prayer. The beads glide smoothly through your fingers.
- 【SIZE】The overall length of these rosaries is 21.5 inches. They can be worn, but also bunch up nicely to carry in your pocket as these beads don’t kink, or tangle up, like ordinary jewelry style rosaries. The beautiful Pardon Catholic crucifix is of the highest quality and has great detail and is 2.25 inches tall. The Our Lady Miraculous Center Medal is 1 inch.
- 【GIFT PACKAGE】This strong and durable rosary makes a thoughtful and meaningful gift for years to come. It is packaged in a Rugged Rosaries round box which is great for gift giving and storage.
- 【BRAND】Rugged Rosaries is your trusted source for Catholic gear since 2012. Our sincerest prayer is that with Our Lady's loving intercession and grace, each rosary will provide strength, comfort, peace, and hope to those seeking the Lord's will.
