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 added this rosary to ever growing collection of Rugged Rosaries. I make sure to have them available everywhere I go. They are beautifully made, nearly indestructible and make wonderful gifts. I can’t say enough how impressed I am by these beautiful rosaries. It won’t be my last.
I make it habit of buying a Special Rosary for Priest that join the Knights of Columbus at our Council, are for those Priest are in awe of it's beauty. I've been blessed to purchase Rosaries with the Mircaleous Medal for my Carmalite Priests (5 or 6). I can pray that when they Pray the Most Holy Rosary, somewhere they will Remember me in their Prayers as a Brother and one Jesus's Flock.
The 1 decade version is awesome. The hail mary beads are bigger and feel more natural in the hand compared to the 5 decade version. Good weight too.
I purchased this Rosary as a Christmas gift for my father. I think he's going to enjoy it very much. His dad served in the Army during WW I and I wonder if he'd received a Rosary like this?
Premium quality rosaries, looks really cool, feels nice on the hands and it really feels like it can last for a lifetime!
Great looking rosary very well made keep up the great work
