Antique Brass WWI / WWII Military Service Rosary – Catholic Soldier’s Pull-Chain Pocket Rosary with Crucifix

Own a powerful piece of historical devotion with this antique Catholic military service rosary. Dating back to the early-to-mid 20th century (WWI to WWII eras), these exceptionally durable rosaries were issued to or carried by soldiers in active service.

Crafted entirely from heavy-duty brass and aged base metals, this rosary was built to withstand harsh combat conditions where traditional glass-beaded or chain-linked rosaries would break. It features a rugged curb-link chain loop at the top, a series of solid round brass metal beads, and a beautiful, classic brass crucifix depicting the figure of Christ with an "INRI" plaque above His head. The reverse side of the crucifix shows a clean, flat-backed finish with an authentic, rich historic patina.

Whether added to a militaria collection, used as a rugged pocket prayer piece, or worn as historical jewelry, this relic carries a timeless sense of protection and faith.

This rosary is in good antique condition. The chain links are structurally secure, and the crucifix shows clean, visible detailing. The brass has developed a dark, natural tarnish and surface patina from age and historical handling, which has been left completely intact to preserve its value and character for collectors.
