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 a new beautiful upgraded quality Pardon Crucifix, 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 nickel-free Silver finished brass chains are no-rust, no-tangle, and have a great weight and feel.
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.

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.
** Please note that the centerpiece medal is sometimes depicted in English, and sometimes in Latin, however, we only use the finest quality available from Italy. The different versions are due to availability and supply issues.

As a Catholic I always have an appreciation of rosaries & their importance. Having a history with a focus on Europe until WW I, I was intrigued when I came across this rosary. Not only is it rugged I appreciate the historical significance but I also appreciate the options one can choose when ordering their rosaries.
Love my RR. Heavy weight, high quality and love the extra religious medals I added. If you are a Knight of Columbus and looking for a special rosary, this is the one for you.
Used this Rosary before Mass today, was really impressed with how it felt. After years of using a plastic one , the weight and sturdy construction of the rugged Rosary was great feeling.
This is the best rosary l have ever had. I love how the Our. Father beads are bigger than the rest. It is exceptionally well-made. It will last for the rest of my life. Highly recommend!
Very nice beads and strong. Love them
