When the original rosaries were produced at the time, they were manufactured using what was readily available in order to supply the great demand of the United States Armed Services. The pull-chain specs and centerpieces used in manufacturing remained uniform, but the crucifixes varied. Your rosary will contain a period-appropriate crucifix that may vary from the one shown in our photos. In fact, many times the crucifix you will receive on your rosary will actually be a vintage piece from the era that Di Roma has recovered.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCTION TIME\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe modern day Di Roma Co. does not produce these rosaries on assembly lines.
