Thank you all once again. I liked nc50lc's response which explains what I suspected was happening with my original recovery seed phrase; returning zero BTC. Just to clarify a bit more. I have at least four or 5 very old electrum wallets pre-2011; all of which are displaying zero BTC on recovery and now thanks to one of you I know why. One of those wallets is the one with the 10.7mBTC as I've been corrected to say and for which I shared one of the transactions and one of addresses in my last post.

What I explained is a possibility for all Electrum wallets created pre-v0.31 or 0.34 versions in general.

However, your situation is a bit unclear because one of your "old wallets" can't be from 2011 since it has a native SegWit address which was only became available in v3.0 (Nov 2017).

And just like all of us said, Electrum wasn't even released yet on the alleged creation date of your seed phrases.
