Is this a real 1st edition chainmail?

Yes.

Whether it's complete isn't 100% known.

If interested, it might the worth asking the seller how many pages there are.  Seeing a picture of the center of the book would be very helpful, too.

I would also ask a page where the address of Guidon Games is printed as I remember there were different print runs and that was the reference to get them.
(Or this deta worked for the 2nd edition??)

The 1st edition only had one printing. There are three printings of the 2nd edition.

Three? I recall several years back that I figured out that there were 2, one from out west and one from Maine. I don't recall there ever being a 3rd site they were printed from.

Two addresses, three printings for the 2nd Edition. The third printing has the same address as the 2nd printing, but a different colored paper was used for the cover.
