Very happy with this rosary.

I got a WWI Battle Beads® Combat Rosary - High Quality Pardon Crucifix for my travel bag and am quite pleased! It is well-made and solid.

very nice piece

the brass patina rosary has a wonderful finish and feel more sturdy than my other 'battle bead rosaries'. the Our Father beads have more of a visible seam than my other offerings from RR but not so much as to cause a distraction on my fingers. Over all' I am quite pleased with it and look forward to the next creative evolution from the team at Rugged Rosaries!

Beautiful and just as advertised

This rosary is just as advertised. It has a good weight and feel. Durable yet beautiful. I couldn't be happier.

Beautiful rosary, but took 12 days arrive

I am quite happy with the quality of the rosary. It really is rugged! However, I had hoped to have it on hand for this month's council meeting, but it arrived 3 days late via USPS.

Beautiful and fits in pocket

This Rosary is a blessing to the eyes and the medals are extremely detailed. I love it because it feels nice in my hands, does not appear or feel cheap, and fits very nicely into my pocket.

Beautiful and Durable

I have been wanting for some time a rosary that the links do not break and the beads do not move. This rosary is both durable and beautiful. I look forward to praying with it for many years.
