I think this might be a Lodge skillet. However, two things make me question whether it’s a Lodge.

First, that emossed 8 looks different from every other Lodge 8 I’ve seen. And that might mean nothing, and I’m reading too much into it.

Second, its weight. The unknown skillet weighs 2,043g. My modern six-year-old Lodge weighs 2,387g. Wouldn’t an older Lodge weigh more?

Can any cast iron experts help me out?
