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!

Beautiful rugged rosary

It's absolutely beautiful! I like the smaller size - not clunky and very easy to slip in a pocket. The patina is gorgeous and the packaging was beautiful. Thank you for your dedication to quality and good workmanship.

Had an issue at first but RR made it right

The first rosary I received only had nine beads on one decade. I contacted the company and they were eager to make it right, sending the new rosary before they had even received the first one back. I am very pleased with the fixed one, and it even fits well to wear as someone who loses everything.

Great gift

One of my longest times friends is a devout catholic. We get together have coffee and speak of history and a long friendship. This ww1 rosary was the perfect gift. It is often hard to find areas where we totally agree
Which is a source of joy to our friendship. Our faiths is a point of celebration. Thank you rugged rosaries.

Wonderfully extremely strong, well-made, rosary.

This rosary is wonderfully well-made so strong, especially for a man’s use being active working in the knee for something with great wear and tear. And this rosary absolutely has all those qualities. I have bought several as for gifts and everybody loves and uses them all the time. Unfortunately, this last purchase I made for myself again I have misplaced the rosary in my home and I’ve been praying to Saint Anthony’s help in our Lady of good remedy to hopefully find this join me in prayers for this it would be appreciated.

Disappointed with quality

I had a rugged rosary that I had purchased about five years ago, and I loved it, but unfortunately it recently broke. I purchased a replacement, and it is not nearly as rugged as the previous one. The one I just received feels like chrome plated plastic. I doubt if it will last as long as the last one.
