This compact one-decade all-metal rosary is rugged, functional, and portable.  It is inspired by the historical vintage service combat rosaries issued by the government to soldiers, sailors, and flying aces during WWI. Now you can carry your WWI Battle Beads combat rosaries in this great rugged smaller format which includes a full-sized Pardon Crucifix, a beautiful Miraculous Medal of Our Blessed Lady, a single Glory Be/Our Father bead, and your 10 Hail Mary beads.  

The Miraculous medal is included but you may optionally select up to 5 more medals to customize your rosary. We also offer just the split rings to add your own medal and an optional Memento Mori Skull bead. If you would like to be able to loop this rosary, you can select to add a lobster clasp as shown in the photos.

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 chains are no-rust, no-tangle, and have a great weight and feel. These are NOT the much lower-quality imported copies. We handmake these ourselves right here in our Texas workshop!

The single-decade rosary is quite easy to use. We have a guide for you here if you need help: 

Praying your One Decade Pocket Rosary

This rosary comes in a nice small round storage container for storing the rosary, but it also makes a nice gift presentation.

Thank you for shopping and God Bless.

Wonderful gift for a veteran!

This rosary was beautiful! It was very well made… and I was proud to give it as a gift to a friend that is a veteran! He loved it.. and is so proud to carry it! Thank you! The Combat Rosary is a great gift for a veteran or active duty military!

Perfect for a Decade!

This is essentially a Decade Rosary.
It is mobile and has fewer tangles than a complete Rosary in your pocket or bag. I wondered how well it would work without the initial "Our Father, and Hail Mary" beads before you start your prayers, but that turned out to be a moot point. I'm glad I found this product and made the purchase.

Great craftsmanship!

So nice to know in this age of all this evil around us there is a company that offers these beautiful Rosaries to give a tool to ward off the Devil

Great Rosary!

I actually work for the Knights of Columbus so it’s important to me to always carry one of their rosaries. I like the decade one because it’s easier to carry than a full rosary and I pray it often as I’m driving to homes and council meetings. It’s sturdy and really keeps me focused. This is my 2nd one as I lost the first one. I hope someone found it and is using it.

Awesome!

I love this pocket rosary! It’s beautifully crafted and makes the perfect every day carry. Keeping it with me at all times has really helped me to be able to pray 15-20 decades of the rosary throughout the day and make the ascent to ceaseless prayer. Ave Maria!

Second time

This is the second time I ordered them… Years ago my wife took several rosary’s which included the WW1 rosary to our parish rectory to get blessed…
The priest asked if he could have that specific one… of course the wife says yes, never told her how much I loved that particular piece…. Years later I spotted it recently and didn’t waste a second reordering… Only now I will get it blessed personally.
