Starting in 1942, the UK restricted the production of jewelry to reserve precious metals for the war effort. This included wedding bands, which meant that couples who wed during and immediately after WWII were only able to purchase bands made of 9 CT gold (rather than traditional higher caratage) with a weight of 3 grams or less. These war-time wedding bands carry a special hallmark indicating their compliance with these regulations. This is one such band! 9 CT rose gold and hallmarked for the year 1946.
