I bought Mexico Chihuahua 20 pesos 1915 a couple of weeks ago.
I can't find correct information on them.

Mexican revolutionary banknotes like these aren't listed in the mainstream (Volume 2) Pick catalogue, they're listed in the "Specialized issues" (Volume 1) catalogue.

As the website thai-vic linked to says, these notes are very common, even in high grade. Ten years ago I bought a set of 5 notes, 1 to 50 pesos, all Unc, for $3 each.

Ah, I have a 10 peso note just like this. I bought it at a local flea market for $3 a couple of years back.

Ah,years ago, when Mexican Revolution notes were overlooked and way underpriced!

The Krause catalogue does no justice. It does not offer a large lifting. For better reference use: Mexican Paper Money 2010 edition, or the older book The Complete Encyclopedia of Mexican Paper Money.

Congratulations, you've become a collector of Mexican numismatics.

I seem to remember reading that these notes were printed in Texas and than shipped across the border.

Yep, they were printed in San Antonio by Maverick Printing (now HARLAND CLARKE)with financial assistance from several prominent wealthy businessmen and supporters. The news story broke after they were taken across the border.
