This 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. Now with slightly larger Our Father beads, the WWI Battle Beads® rosaries are the closest replica available to the vintage antique 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, and have a nice weight to them. The crucifix from Italy is a traditional 3 nail style.
The Our Father beads are slightly larger to aid in meditative prayer. You can feel where you are as you move through prayers. This version is for the serious Prayer Warrior at 20 decades and 60 inches long but still bunches up small enough to carry in your pocket with the included zippered pouch.
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.

Thank you for shopping and God Bless.

Its beautiful and just what I wanted
The Combat Rosary is amazing! Good quality! I have my own and got one for someone as a confirmation gift.
Purchased as gifts for our senior altar servers.
This is my second World War I replica, pardon, crucifix Rosary, I love the quality and the notable durability. It is my go to Rosary to stand the test of time and wear and tear. I have ordered many rosaries and other items from the store and love the company! 🙏❤️ where my finger is in the picture is my bellybutton to get an idea of how long the rosary is.
The quality of this rosary is great! I have already made it into a relic for the saint metals that I chose for it. I am so excited to gift it to my husband for his birthday! Thank you! Already contemplating my next purchases
My son loved his rosary!
Consistent with my prior experience with Rugged Rosaries, this pocket rosary is lovely. I treasure my Divine Mercy full rosary and wanted the One Decade size to keep in my purse and use during Adoration. It has a substantial and gratifying feel to my fingers and serves the purpose of portability and prayerfulness. Thank you for the careful craftsmanship you exhibit through your products. God bless you all!
I bought eight of these for my groomsmen. The medals and crucifixes are handsomely casted, and the skull bead in addition to the Crucifix is a great reminder of "Memento Mori, Memento Vivere"!
Delivery was as expected and the quality is awesome. Thanks to the Rugged Rosaries team!
