This compact all-metal rosary is rugged, functional, and portable.  It has a meaningful history, as it is heavily inspired by the service combat rosaries issued by the government to soldiers, sailors, and flying aces during WWI.  This new ultimate edition of the WWI Battle Beads collection features larger, heavier beads and sacred devotional Our Father medals. These beads have a wonderful heavier feel that you will love to pray with.

These rosaries are strong and durable and made to last.  The Our Father beads are beautiful, Italian-made devotional medals.  You can feel where you are as you move through prayers and at 23" long, they are wearable but still bunch up small enough to carry in your pocket.

Thank you for shopping and God Bless.

 

** Please note that the centerpiece medal is sometimes usually in English, and sometimes in Latin, however, we only use the finest quality available from Italy. The different versions are due to availability of supply.

Heritage WWI Battle Beads

Robust well made Rosary, had intended to use them myself, but things being as they are, I think my son-in-law in the military should have them. That’s the thing, they’re tough enough to carry into a firefight, and so wonderfully inspirational that you cannot do other than seek Our Lady’s consolation in a foxhole.

Heritage Combat Rosary

Beautiful. Very well made and with all the medals that I would have liked to add but didn't to not make it too bulky. Perfect this way and I especially love the Pardon Crucifix..

The Rosary is stunning - and indeed rugged! The icing on the cake was the Chi Ro pouch - supple and gorgeous! So glad I grabbed this when available.

Thank you for leaving feedback. We are so happy you like it.

Definitely my favorite combat rosary

This Rosary immediately became my daily carry Roaary. Very well made and great looking. I absolutely love it and would glad, after a lifetime of use, to be buried with it. The pater medals are GREAT. This Rosary was worth every penny. — Deacon Tom

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We love the pater medals too.

The Best WWI Rosary Yet!

I have loved your rosaries for years, and the WWI battle beads had quickly become my favorite to carry each day.
This heritage version is my absolute favorite yet. The larger beads give it an extra strong, masculine feel, the devotional Our Father medals add an extra touch of beauty and invite further reflection, and the Miraculous centerpiece and Pardon Crucifix tie it all together and elevate this rosary to a whole new level for the WWI Battle Beads series.
From the day I received it, it has now become my go to, daily carry rosary. My other rosaries are still fantastic and will be kept in easily accessible places like my desk at work and the console of my truck, but this is the one that will be staying with me.
I cannot wait to buy a few more of these to give as gifts to other men in my life to share the blessings of our Lady and her rosary.

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a heartfelt review of our Heritage WWI Battle Beads. We are happy to hear that this new version has become your favorite. We hope that this rosary continues to bring you blessings and strength. Thank you for choosing RuggedRosaries.com.
