In the end I am willing to bet they are BOTH actually steel, if you bought both of them today.
As to professional grade, I have seen quiet a few restaurant kitchens. Seems like it isn't uncommon to see a few "CAST IRON" skillets there.


This one at Amazon says made in USA

SOLIDTEKNICS US-ION 10-inch Wrought Iron Skillet –1/8-inch Seamless Cookware, Raw Finish, Made in the USA
4.5 out of 5 stars 17

Just saying
They both look like steel to me.
I have so many actual cast iron skillets that if I were to melt them all down I could probably have enough pig iron to cast a v8 engine block
