Mother's Day Sale 12%: BVM12
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.
I’ve been buying these rosaries and getting them blessed . They are my favorite gift to pass to those in need. What better gift when someone is in need of prayers to pass your rosary to them after you’ve prayed with them in your hands. I appreciate you all! Pax Tibi
I’m a police officer where I live. I bought the gunmetal Momento Mori rosary and tactical pouch. It is the best combo I’ve ever purchased and fits well with the vest I wear. Pouch has a hoops velcro patch so you can add whatever morale patch you’d like. I opted for a Jerusalem Cross.
My parish priest was also impressed with the arsthetic and quality of the rosary itself.
Prayer on duty has never been better!
In my order request I specified to change the crucifix to the San Damiano... but the crucifix was the same as the one photographed. I gave this as a gift, and the person received it loves it despite not getting the San Damiano. So I give 4 out of 5. I love Rugged Rosary and continue to be a faithful customer... despite a simple request... they make the best rosaries and all the crucifixes are beautiful. Will never give anything lower than a 4.
Just buy it, you won't regret it.
I bought a beautiful rosary and crucifix for myself and for my dad, would recommend to anyone and will shop here again.
I learned about Rugged Rosary from my dad and brother who each had one. I was absolutely loved the quality and it suited their personalities perfectly. A former student of mine converted to the faith all on his own. His enthusiasm and passion reignited mine. I needed a gift for him and immediately thought of this. Not only is it the quality advertised, it’s easy to carry around. The best part? My student knew what it was as he opened the gift and was so excited because he wanted one! Thank you so much for creating something that continues to motivate/inspire others to keep the faith and be soldier for Christ!
I've purchased this as a gift for my godson's first communion. I was very impressed by the quality of the packaging, and the rosary seems to be well made. Time will tell if it survives the stresses of belonging to a seven year old boy in a big active family, but just from a cursory examination it seems it's got a higher chance than usual (I had eight younger brothers, so I feel fairly qualified to make a quick judgement in that department).
Came fast and great quality.
