Alex,
I see these for sale on a regular basis on some of the Russian sites. None were for sale now, but I found quite a bit about this by googling "Latvijas PSR Augstākās Padomes Prezidija Goda Raksts". You find resumes for people that have received this and newspaper articles about the award. Also using the pictures option in google search will give you some information.
I have seen these badges being sold in the baltics by the dozens, I believe that a large unissued batch of these made it to the marketplace.
As far as the Latvian state archive or state library is concerned - they would have information regarding all of the recipients, but you would have to go there. It would be interesting, but very time consuming.
