In this series of ranks there was no slider for the Ordinary and Able Seaman.  They were introduced much later.  The quality of the slider was always very good and to a set size.  I recently found that I had a number of sliders that I would regard as a  variation set.  Two of these are displayed further below. 

Leading Seaman		Petty Officer
	Senior Petty Officer
Chief Petty Officer		Senior Chief Petty Officer

These two sliders are the variations mentioned above.  They are a brighter gold in colour and the chevrons are bordered.

Chief Petty Officer		Senior Chief Petty Officer

The following set were introduced in 2002 and are  woven and not thread.  For the first time the WO slider has been introduced with the branch badge woven in.

Ordinary Seaman		Able Seaman
Leading Seaman		Petty Officer
	Senior Petty Officer
Chief Petty Officer		Senior Chief Petty Officer
Warrant Officer (Executive)		Warrant Officer (Communications)
Warrant Officer (Administration)		Warrant Officer (Engineering)
