As far as I'm aware, early seventeenth century is the earliest proveable lucet cord (on a urvivng purse) andything before that is circumstantial...
On the other hand, once it's made, it's very hard to tell lucetted cord from other types of cord just by looking at them, so why not make and use it and just don't say it was lucet?
I happily use lucet cord for pre 17th century costume but won't lucet in fornt of the public due to the encessary explanations about the circumstantial nature of the method in that period.
