March 1987 is the first LoAR shown by www.morsulus.org with
"non scripta, non est" as a motto of the CoA.

However,

    On this day decisions were made on many arms, the great bulk of
    which caused the Lord Laurel King-at-Arms to repeat his motto,
    which is, Semper scriptum capere, or, Always get it in writing.
    To which the Lady Banner Herald replied that the motto of the
    King-at-Arms of England is Miserere mei Deus, secundum magnam
    misericordiam tuam. [Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Thy
    great mercy.] And all agreed that it behooved a herald frequently
    and loudly to call upon the mercy of God.

Whereas I have the historical argument, and the opposite emotional
argument of "cheap plastic imitation 'cause the queen isn't good
enough to deserve the real thing".  (Cue the old Russian joke about
"I thought I saw two people walking towards me, but then I saw that
one of them was a woman".)
