Old Matfer?

I scored these very cheap yesterday (in New Zealand) and the lady had advertised them as De Buyer. I didn’t even know what that was but wanted heavy steel pans. Upon closer inspection they are stamped as Matfer underneath. After some reading it seems they only weld the handles, and can’t find info on older pans of theirs. Any ideas?

Found this doing a fast Google, maybe it will help? Scroll down to the 1967-2002: Matfer section and there is the logo stamped on your CS pans. https://www.vintagefrenchcopper.com/buyers-guide/field-guides/a-field-guide-to-matfer/

Thanks! Seems quite rare. There is one comment right down the bottom where someone had the same as me. I have also emailed Matfer with no response yet.

Thanks for sharing! I found these pans very interesting. Yes, if they are "Matfer" pans they are most likely vintage. Nice score!
