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.

These rosaries are quite strong, do not tangle, are small and portable, and very easy to carry in your pocket. This design has slightly larger Our Father beads to aid your meditative prayer. You can feel where you are on the rosary without looking at it. This chain is non-rust, non-corrosive, and non-magnetic. 

At 21" long, they are wearable but still bunch up small enough to carry in your pocket, but we do include a small round container for presentation and storage.

You can read more about the original antique WWI service rosary HERE.

Thank you for shopping and God Bless.

Perfect for pocket

Absolutely perfect in the gunmetal finish.

Perfect carry rosary

Loved this rosary before and lost it out on our ten acres somewhere, so this is a replacement. I liked this one because it was small enough it fit in my pocket and when praying the rosary it didn't get caught or tangled on anything.

Byzantine cross, WWI replica rosary

Excellent replica of an era when our military issued rosaries. Good quality and weight.

This rosary is the perfect companion to bring along through life.

These are perfect beads, they feel right in my hands, and are definitely strong enough to support being carried daily in my person. Also, it was super easy to use the web site, packaging was flawless and shipping super fast!

Knights of Columbus Rosary

I received the rosary very quickly and the quality was amazing. I carry this with me at all times.

Beautiful!

Very well made and no tangling. I also like the diameter of the beads because they are not too big and can be comfortably worn around your neck. It has a nice heft but is not too heavy as well. I would rather do business with this fine Christian seller than some nameless faceless overseas vendor on Amazon any day!! Very happy customer here! God Bless!!

Reliable.

My rosary is more than what I expected. The rosary is durable and good quality. I have bought from this company twice already.

Truly Beautiful

While the Crucifix is a bit more dainty than I expected, the entire Rosary is a true reflection of loving devotion. It is a gift for a family friend who I am sure will love it and I am confident will be able to get many years use from it before having a wonderful religious article to pass on to a loved one. This is truly built to last.
