I have this database "DB1" which is in FULL recovery mode.

I run full daily backup -Monday to Saturday
DB1_Mon.bak
DB1_Tue.bak
DB1_Wed.bak
DB1_Thur.bak
DB1_Fri.bak
DB1_Sat.bak

Come Sunday - for the first time I have run transaction log backup.
DB1_Sun.trn

And now, I need to restore DB1 - but the only full backup that I have is the Monday - "DB1_Mon.bak"

Is my database complete if I restore only "DB1_Mon.bak" plus the "DB1_Sun.trn"?

No, the transaction log backup will only have the transactions since the last full backup.
