Modifying Of Captured Zulu Weaponry ?

Is it known, or are there examples of, captured Zulu weapons being modified into something else in the 19th Century ?

Say, the throwing spears or assegais given a handgrip instead of the shaft, to be used as edged weapons by Colonials.

Perhaps even the knobkerries given a new use ?

I'm just not sure all weaponry would have been destroyed, or kept just as trophies.

Thanks
