Scratch, casting flaw or crack?

I bought this #10 LBL skillet as a user, but once I cleaned up the inside I noticed a few marks. Scratch, crack or casting flaw? I’ve searched the forum and the internet for a definitive answer, but not sure where to go from here. Any advice on determining what I’m looking at and if it will be alright to use. I can barely catch a fingernail on the worst of the areas and there’s no signs of a crack on the underside. Thank you for the help.

It's a scratch. A crack across the bottom that didn't extend up the sidewall to the rim would be uncommon. Most cracks are confined to the sidewalls and are most often seen on either side of the handle. A crack can be observed on both the inner and outer pan wall.
 
Yeah, thats not a big deal. Put it this way, I would buy it if I saw it for sale. Looks to be in good shape, might need stripped and seasoned tho. By the way, I need a #10 for my Griswold collection, lol.
 
Been keeping my eye out for a #10 locally and finally found this one last week. It’s going to be my main kitchen skillet. I picked up a #12 small logo also. It was too nice to pass up.
