Are "Meyer Tensl" pans safe?

Hi there.
I have recently become aware of a possible link between older Teflon pans and cancer and have decided to chuck out all my older non-stick pans (they were all old and scratched, anyway).
One thing I am not too sure is about a set of pans called Meyer Tensl, which my mother-in-law gave me many, many years ago.
These pans are dark grey and seem pretty heavy. Does anyone know what they are made of and are there any safety concerns about their continued use?

    Pretty heavy? Probably cast iron.

    Not have these particular pans but have the stainless steel ones and they are still going strong after more than 20 years.  So obviously a good make.
