1. yes, network is green. I can retrieve the funds of my 2013 address (1G*) in watch-only mode
2. when I try to restore, I don't get the option to recover legacy or any other type of wallet

I do:

File > New/Restore > Standard Wallet > I already have a seed > paste my seed and next

Version of Electrum is 4.0.9

I found the dictionary: it is an Electrum 'old style'

https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/1.9.8/lib/mnemonic.py

ALL my 12 words are there.

I followed the recovery process in Electrum, but my wallet has no funds. Any idea why?

I've got around 4.5K USD stored in an old wallet. Last transaction dates back to 2013.

I don't remember where I created that wallet, but I think it was in blockchain.info.

I still keep the 12 word seed, but I tried to recover it in blockchain.com an it didn't work. I am sure the seed is ok as I copy-pasted the entire thing, including the address.

The seed contains words like 'reveal' and 'believe' which I haven't found in any "modern" dictionary.

Any idea where I could recover a seed from 2013?

TIA

I learned of BTC when it was .80 USD. I should have bought then
