A quick update. I was finally able to convince my friend to give me her device so I can do everything myself and try different things first hand.

I was able to get the ETH off with an old MyCrypto.

Then I was able to get the BCH off using the old Ledger App so we're all good! But I have one more issue...

This will show any forked coins that the device still holds. That is to say, any BCH that is sitting on BTC derivation paths (m/44'/0'/0'...). If you use "Split" it uses BCH derivation path (m/44'/145'/0'...) which will only show non forked coins.
HCP, or anyone,
This wallet held BCH during the last fork. It was originally send to the ledger wallet on 12-20-2017.

Today I sent the BCH to her Coinbase account, so I believe that was BCH ABC.

Shouldn't there be some BCH SV available somehow? I tried following these instructions but I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly. (https://support.ledger.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012270054-Bitcoin-SV-BSV-) The instructions also say to get the latest Bitcoin Cash App which I am reluctant to do since I don't have the 24 word phrase.

When I open the wallet using Electrum I can see the BCH (ABC) that I withdrew earlier tonight, not the BCH SV which I would still expect to be there.
