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. This newest style has a beautiful and highly detailed Byzantine Crucifix. These WWI Battle Beads rosaries are the closest replica available to the vintage antique service combat rosaries from 1916!
The Our Father beads are slightly larger to aid in meditative prayer. You can feel where you are as you move through prayers and at 21" long, they are wearable but still bunch up small enough to carry in your pocket.
Although the WWI Battle Beads Rosary is rugged enough to carry in your pocket, we do include a small round storage container for portability and storage.
As with all Rugged Rosaries, you may add optional medals. We recommend only adding up to 4. Some of our photos show an optional medal attached.

The Pardon Crucifix grants indulgences. For more information about the Pardon Crucifix, you can download a printable .pdf file about it by clicking HERE.
Thank you for shopping and God Bless.
I purchased this rosary for my husband who has been estranged to our faith for sometime. As he read the information on this particular rosary it touched him very deeply. He has a better understanding of it and has a special place in his heart because of all of our family and friends who service or have served. I love this rosary.
I purchased a Rosary with a St Michael medal as a baptism gift for my Godson. My wife and I were blessed to be chosen as Godparents for the child of longtime friends and fellow Catholic who joined the Army with me nearly 20 years ago. I was gifted one of these Rosaries a while ago and felt it would be a great gift for several different occasions. I was impressed with the durability and unique design to match the spiritual weapons of our forefathers in the military. I am confident the Rosary we gifted will last my Godson’s lifetime and be something he can pass on to his children. Added benefit of buying from a Texas based company.
The quality of the rosary I received was excellent and it looks better in person than the pictures make it out to be.
Your beautiful selection made it difficult to choose!! I purchased the WW1 combat rosary & two natural wood rosaries, all high quality & again beautiful! I look forward to purchasing more. Continued blessings on you & your work!
It's absolutely beautiful! I like the smaller size - not clunky and very easy to slip in a pocket. The patina is gorgeous and the packaging was beautiful. Thank you for your dedication to quality and good workmanship.
Great gift and beautiful
The first rosary I received only had nine beads on one decade. I contacted the company and they were eager to make it right, sending the new rosary before they had even received the first one back. I am very pleased with the fixed one, and it even fits well to wear as someone who loses everything.
One of my longest times friends is a devout catholic. We get together have coffee and speak of history and a long friendship. This ww1 rosary was the perfect gift. It is often hard to find areas where we totally agree
Which is a source of joy to our friendship. Our faiths is a point of celebration. Thank you rugged rosaries.
