When we speak of insurance of precious
or historical value items, private insurance,
such as that conveyed by commercial agencies
outside government, is not prescribed. In essence,
the government insures itself. The connotation
of insurance within the Department of the
Navy addresses original cost, adjustments for
appreciation or depreciation, and the resulting
replacement cost of high-value items. Also,
Marine Corps command procedures regarding
appreciation or depreciation may vary from
those of Navy commands. Some high-value
items can be appraised simply by a generalized
catalog or Navy supply system description.
Conversely, same items cannot be accurately
appraised by a general description and must
be adjudged individually. For example, a typical
ciborium made of widely accepted metals may
have a replacement value of approximately
0. However, a pure sterling silver ciborium
may be worth many times that amount.
The RPC or RP1 will need to work closely
with the command chaplain to make accurate
apprasials of high-value items. In making such
appraisals, the chaplain and the RP may find
the place of purchase a good souce of assistance.
Most suppliers of church goods will gladly
assist the chaplain and RP in apraisals of
these items. The CRP managers should provide
the following information to the suppliers:
Original invoice showing initial cast and
date of purchase
Draperies and window blinds
Consecutive property account records
Folding chairs
Photographs of the items
Baby cribs and nursery items
Nameplate data (if availablel)
Portable chalkboards
Cleaning gear
