St. Michael CHAPLET configuration
  • Historic WWI Service Combat Rosary design
  • Italian Silver finish St. Michael Centerpiece
  • Traditional 3 Nail Catholic Crucifix
  • St. Michael is the Patron Saint for Soldiers, Law Officers
  • Silver finish over Brass pull chain beads that do not rust
  • Non-allergenic, Non-Corrosive
  • Double-loop split rings for strength = no lost medals
  • Includes a small round container for portability and storage

This compact all-metal Chaplet is rugged, functional, and portable.  It has a meaningful history, as it is reproduced in the same style of the service combat rosaries issued by the government to soldiers, sailors, and flying aces during WWI, hence the name. This version is in the configuration of the St. Michael Chaplet.

We have faithfully duplicated the historic rosaries with the same type of pull chain used in military dog tags, so you know it's strong.  We also use double looped split rings for a stronger and safer attachment between medals and chain. 

St. Michael is the patron saint to lead you in the Catholic army.  He is the patron saint for Soldiers and all Law Enforcement and is the most popular Saint requested by our customers. 

At 20" long, this rosary can be worn.  We designed these specifically for our customers who wanted a smaller, functional and rugged rosary.

Although the WWI Battle Beads St. Michael Chaplet is rugged enough to carry in your pocket, we do include a small round container for portability and storage.

Thank you for shopping and God Bless.

I love my rosary

Awesome rosary

Very durable design. I like that it is inspired by the ones men used in the trenches. I'm reminded of two things: the rosary is a weapon against evil and the Christmas Truce of 1914, when both sides put down there arms and spent time together in good will to celebrate our Lord's birth. It is a reminder that we are all brothers in Christ.

I have purchased numerous rosaries from rugged rosaries and gave them to friends and relatives. Also quite a few priests who love them. They are truly the best rosary beads for everyday carry. They are made to last. Everyone that sees them asks for them.
