I'm new to collecting and learning about cast iron, though I've been admiring it for a while. Saw these at a couple antique stores. They seem like they were made to look old. Can someone please add to my observations so I better know how to identify fake pans?
This 6 has a gate mark that looks slapped on and the heat ring protrudes 1/4 inch. Something about the handle seems wrong, but I don't know what it would be.

This 8 seems WAY heavier than it should be. Otherwise I'm not sure what I think makes it a fake.

I wish I had taken more/better pictures, but still, this cannot possibly be right. Right?
