Not a chance. The date alone kills it, and so does the abbreviated first name of the recipient.

Say, is that the same ring...:
SS Honor Ring, worth a look?
...or just one off the same assembly line?

Thanks Andreas. My thoughts confirmed. But also good to hear about the abbreviated name. That one I didn't know.
As far as being the same. I doubt it but I would agree that it's from the same assembly line somewhere in eastern Europe
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

You're welcome, Michael.
All originals had the "S. lb. [surname] [date] H. Himmler" engraving; no abbreviated first name.
The "30.08.1940" date is wrong in several ways: In 1936, Himmler had already decreed that only four award dates were to be used: 20 April (Hitler's birthday), 21 June (Summer solstice), 9 November (anniversary of the 1923 Putsch) and 21 December (Winter solstice).
Prior to that, a few other dates were used as well, but 30th August has no special significance in the Nazi calendar and had never been used.
The month was spelled in Roman numerals on the earliest rings (24. XII. 1933 and 30. VI. 1934); after that, it was spelled in Arabic numerals, which never had the leading "0" for single-digit months ("20.4." and "30.6."; not "20.04." and "30.06.").
Apparently, both of these rings try to be the honor ring of Werner Lorenz.
