M. Hornauer Verlag manufactured this very rare puzzle in 1976. The title is Ski Paradise, by Roger Blachon. It is very difficult to find.
The puzzle is COMPLETE, as you can see in the photographs of the puzzle assembled. The pieces are in very good condition, considering their age. The box has seen better days, with some wear, tape marks, tape to the bottom, and a missing lid. The pattern of the pieces does look as if the puzzle was actually produced at the Heye factory. That is a real possibility, considering that Heye published a similar 1000 piece version just three years later.
