I am trying to fix an old rosary and I'm having trouble locating the right size and style to match the existing beads. below is a link to a photo in the hopes you may know where I could get this bead. It is dark brown wooden, about 4mm-5mm and carved with concentric circles.

That looks like it is the Our Father bead in our 645BR set of beads which are available here http://www.olrm.org/online_store/index. ... ductId=292. I would say that the Our Father bead is 5 mm.

How many beads are missing from the rosary?

I've bought beads from here a few times.

More than likely you will not fine the exact same bead. My suggestion is to remove the OF bead & use the ones from the site listed above for the OF beads. I think your beads might be bigger than what you think. If you have any HM beads missing, you can use the OF beads that you removed. I did that with a rosary that was missing the crucifix end of the rosary.
