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. 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, small and portable, and very easy to carry in your pocket. The chains are beautiful nickel-free silver patina finish over brass which makes them weighty and very comfortable in your hands.

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 box for presentation 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.

You can rest assured you are getting the highest quality and best workmanship. We have been creating these in our own studio since 2012.

Beyond Expectations

The original brass patina rosary is beautiful. Exactly as pictured and described. I love the history behind it. I bought it for my grandsons first communion. I can’t wait to give it to him. It’s masculine and suited for a young man.

Thank God for helping me find this Rosary!

The Rosary is beautiful & gives me a wonderful & comforting feeling when I hold it & pray the Rosary & the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. It doesn’t tangle. I love it & use it everyday & carry it everywhere I go.
Thank you bery much.

Good rosary

This a really attractive rosary and it is sturdy. A great rosary gift for a man.

Rosary

My wife bought me the single decade rosary for Christmas and I love it so much I came back and bought a full rosary with a leather carry pouch. My previous rosary was too light and the beads were too small but this one is PERFECT. Good weight to it, nice sized beads, and just plain cool looking. The problem with your rosaries is I want all of them…..and for that reason I’ll enjoy giving them as gifts.

Powerful tool

My brother in law just found out that he has stage 4 lung cancer. He has some grim days ahead… I gave him this rosary because he needs something in his hands that will give him strength as he goes to war against cancer.

I have given a dozen of these rosaries out over the years and the response is always very powerful. Thank you RR for putting out a product like no other. This is a man’s rosary and it has been helping the men in my life pray and go through life’s battles. God Bless what you do!

Rugged and Beautiful

I couldn’t be happier with the great rosary. It’s built rugged enough to keep in the field whether hiking, camping or working. Well made, sensible design that encourages prayer when needed most.

Knights of Columbus Rosary

Rosary was purchased as a gift, and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend these excellent quality Rosaries. The added ring Rosary was a welcomed bonus, thank you.

Very Good

A very well-made rosary! I am very pleased with it.
