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.

These rosaries are quite strong, do not tangle, are small and portable, and very easy to carry in your pocket. This new design has slightly larger Our Father beads to aid your meditative prayer. You can feel where you are on the rosary without looking at it. This chain is non-rust, non-corrosive, and non-magnetic.

At 21" long, they are wearable but still bunch up small enough to carry in your pocket, but we do include a small round tin for portability and storage. We also have a nice round rosary pouch available here.

Thank you for shopping and God Bless.

Love it

This rosary is exactly what I was hoping for! It has a nice weight and feels very strong. I feel like I never need to worry about it breaking in my pocket. It’s also very compact in my pocket which makes it all the more usable!
Thanks!

comcat rosary

I was somewhat leery about quality but I can assure you they are everything they say and more. Could not be more pleased with the quality/ Had my rosary blessed last weekend. Carry ever day in the protective tin they come with. Delivery was quick. Very pleased and will consider as presents in the future. I plan in having my name engraved in the top of the tin soon. Maybe something Rugger rosaries should consider offering.

Beautiful, perfectly masculine, quality rosary!

I ordered a rosary for my brother as a gift and I am astounded at the quality and beautifully masculine rosary I received. My brother was over the moon to get it and I will absolutely recommend Rugged Rosaries to everyone who asks! 10/10 will buy again!

Beautiful 15 decade Rosary

The quality of the rosary is outstanding and the customer service is awesome! Will definitely purchase more items in the future.

Thanks and GOD bless you all.

Gorgeous!

It's more lightweight than I expected, but I normally use a large solid silver rosary so my weight expectations were likely not realistic. That said, being light/medium weight is an advantage for portability!

It looks very delicate yet is solid built, I love the type of chain and the meaning/uniqueness of the momento mori skull and pardon crucifix - I've never seen this at my local store. The tin it comes with is very handy as well! I really appreciate the jump rings as connectors, this adds more durability and ease of changing out centerpiece and cross if ever needed or wanted.

I'm glad I ordered this, very nice, seems built to last, and I feel confident packing it around with me daily for prayer and meditation without undue worry about breaking it. Thanks guys!

National Museum of Military Vehicles

The National Museum of Military Vehicles recently acquired a 1914 reproduction military Rosary. This is the second we have acquired in support of our historic interpretation and education program here at this Museum, and the third I have acquired for similar purposes. The Rosaries are high-quality, historically accurate, and make a direct contribution to this Museum's mission. The Rosaries were precisely as advertised, absolutely flawless, with swift shipping.

Rugged rosary

I love them. I love the way they feel and the weight of them in my pocket. Thank you for continuing to make them. Bless you all and stay healthy and safe.

Beautiful! Outstanding Quality and Service

I've purchased 2 different WWI Battle Bead Rosaries, and they are easily the best rosaries I've ever owned. Not only are they beautiful, but they don't tangle like other rosaries, and they're extremely durable. I always carry mine in my pocket, and never leave home without it.

The customer service is always excellent as well. They've always answered my questions promptly and courteously. I also had one small issue that they handled right away.

I highly recommend Rugged Rosaries!
