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.
What a beautiful Rosary. Surely with the care it was made it will last a lifetime. I was able to bring it to venerate the relic of St Jude at mass yesterday. It will be treasured all the more. Abundant Blessings
I've recently moved closer to my grandfather. By God's grace he has brought me into faith. I could not have found a better gift for the man who has done so much for me!
Well made, clean finish.
This one decade WWII rosary is gorgeous!
The World War I Floral rosary arrived and I couldn't be more pleased. Rugged Rosary
crafted the style that I wanted along with changing the Crucifix to the one that I requested.
This was a gift and the person that I gave this to was so surprised and thankful.
They turned out beautifully.
I highly recommend these rosaries and shall be a returning customer.
Great rosaries and service!!!!
This is not the first set of rosaries that I have purchased and will not be the last. These were purchased as gift and the recipient was very grateful for them.
Too often men have a misconception that the rosary is a “woman’s prayer” that the church ladies do. While properly catechized Catholics know this not to be the case masculine rosaries like the battle beads does help some get over this misconception and on track for a fruitful prayer life. Thank you Rugged Rosaries
I love this Rosary! The authenticity and quality is unmatched. Thank you.
