Wondering if the skillet not market on top is real or fake. I haven't been able to find any info on it.

The left is a genuine late handle. The right is a fake, but appears to have been made using an altered piece same as the left as a pattern. I would guess it is a fraction of an inch smaller in all directions.

Most of the fakes are fully marked, and have the grooved handle. They are easy to spot by the poor casting quality, and typically a gang mold number incised just outside the heat ring near the handle.
