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.

Satisfied well beyond my expectations. Beautiful rosary in every way. Already planning on buying more as gifts.
A real weapon in the hands of a Prayer Warrior... Love this Rugged Rosary which I use daily....
This is a beautiful rosary and the perfect size for me. It is very well made and I get many compliments on it. Very quick delivery also. Thank you!
It was exactly what I wanted! I am so impressed! Will definitely order some other stuff soon! Thanks a bunch!
Ordered the WWI Rosary Beads replica and love them. They have a genuine feel to them as they have some weight to them. Feels like you’re holding a real piece of history while following the Blessed Mother’s call to pray the Holy Rosary daily.
The Rosaries created by Rugged Rosaries are just as advertised. The WWI Rosary Beads are wonderfully crafted and just as rugged as my other three Rosaries. I have gone through several Rosaries over the years but yours are quite sturdy and very well made.
My wife loves her rosary. She said it is beautiful looking and strong. Thank you Rugged Rosaries!
Really enjoy this rosary. It has enough weight to it that I don't feel like it's a cheap piece of plastic, because it isn't! The overall size of the beads and crucifix also just feel right!
