Hi Nearco,
You can buy that year's issues of Slingshot from the Society of Ancients for a moderate fee (10 GBP plus shipping and handling I think). After some back and forth, they decided they could sell to non-members. I don't think they sell PDFs. Basically, it has illustrations and short discussions of all the images of Hellenistic standards which Karnunathy was aware of, plus a discussion of the written evidence. He concludes that these standards were borrowed from the Persians towards the end of Alexander's reign and resembled the later vexilla. Its a relatively short article.

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
