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 given to soldiers, sailors, and flying aces during WWI.

These rosaries are quite strong, do not tangle, are small and portable, and very easy to carry in your pocket. The slightly larger Our Father beads aid your meditative prayer. You can feel where you are on the rosary without looking at it. 

At 21" long, they are wearable but still bunch up small enough to carry in your pocket, but we do include a round container for presentation and storage. We also have other pouches available here

You can read more about the original antique WWI service combat rosary HERE.

It's our mission to supply unique gear you want and need, that will enhance your faith and your prayer life and your devotion to the rosary for years to come. 

Thank you and God bless!

Lovely and functional

I bought this for my husband as a gift. It came quickly, was beautifully packaged, and is exactly the kind of thing he will appreciate. As a veteran himself and a former Texas native he will love the relevance and source of his rosary. Thank you!

As Usual

Another great rosary. A good looking man's rosary and it won't break like so many with the metal chains do. This is a good investment.

Beautiful looking and very well made!

I purchased the Chaplet of the Seven Sorrows of Mary Rosary. It is beautiful. I added the Sacred Heart of Jesus medal and both medals are nicely done and add to my devotion. The rosary is solid, made to last. Thank you!

This world NEEDS more prayers!

Very well made, looks very nice, the WWI historic tie- really in got my attention!
Ordered 3, for me and 2 as gifts. After using my Rosary, had to order more for gifts!
Now use them! Set up a Prayer Circle with friends and family, set a phone alarm for every night at 9PM, text the group 'Ready' and begin. If there is a special intention that might for someone who needs help - add that to the text.
Recommend Taylor Marshall's YouTube channel for Latin versions of the Rosary.

Gifted - Former Army Military Chaplain

I want to thank you for the silver World War I rosary beads. I gifted them to Fr. Paul Hurley, a former Army military chaplain. Fr. Hurley is the Pastor at St. Bonaventure’s in Plymouth, Massachusetts. I was able to give them to Fr. Hurley prior to Veterans’ Day. Fr. Hurley is doing an awesome job making all his parishioners feel welcomed!
