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 container 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 read more about the original antique WWI service rosary HERE.

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.

Beautifully Perfect & Solid

This Chaplet Rosary glows right in your hands. It is perfectly weighted and the beads are perfectly spaced so you can close your eyes and mediate on each of Choirs. The extra medals I ordered also give me an extra sense of comfort. Order one, I promise you won't regret it.

Beautiful!

I’ve purchased the Battlefield WW1 Rosary as a Christmas present for my Veteran nephew. I was gifted one (which I love) and thought the Rosary would be a great gift for him.
