I'm starting a build of Professor Bruttenholm’s rosary. I found a couple pictures for reference.
The first thing I noticed was this is not a standard rosary. This one has seven decades instead of the normal five. It also is missing two "Our Father" beads and one "Hail Mary" bead between the crucifix and centerpiece. That would most likely make it a Fransiscan Crown Rosary with one of the "Hail Mary" beads broken off or left off.
I then went on a four and a half hour search through etsy and several rosary maker sites to try to find a crucifix, beads and centerpiece that matched. I'm fairly sure the crucifix was custom made.
So far I've found some parts that are pretty close. I'm still going to search for better ones and I'm debating if I want to modify a centerpiece to match exactly or just use one that's close. Here are the best options I've got so far.
