Can a banner bearer be given both a spear and banner?

Can I get a page reference in the rule manual? I don't see anything prohibiting it, but I don't see anything permitting it either.

from the FAQ, taken from another topic in this section regarding Banner

Q: If a model is equipped with a banner or a war horn, can it still be
upgraded with other equipment such as spears and shields? (pg 72)
A: Yes.

Wow! That is fantastic. I feel like my banner bearer can now more effectively contribute to my force!

The question here is that is the spear of the banner the spear we are referring to? Or we need to add a spear to the back of the soldier (a silly thing but I have seen it in the past - just clarifying it now)

I plan to make the banner appear as the spear as this affords the flexibility to inform your opponent how you'll be utilizing the model in game.

Most people (at least everyone I've come across) will accept the banner as a spear, providing it's costed for

don't forget the spearbannerman will still suffer the -1 to dual roles.

I didn't forget, but always good to have a reminder.
