Can someone ID the breast star on Kaiser Karl's right breast?

I looked at that myself and it seems that the bullion has darkened a bit causing contrast between the tresse and the thread. The scarlet backing is applied very nicely and the tresse is original to the tunic.

I'm not 100% sure whether the thread is original and didn't show when new or if someone tacked the tresse back in area some years ago. Overall, it's very nice and look very nice. Once seven decorations are applied to the chest and a pike gray kepi is found it'll look top notch.

BTW, the are loops on the right breast. What Austrian awards is worn on the right?

Collar Detail. Note how the scarlet section of the insignia extends a couple of centimeters past the gold tresse.

I have always had trouble distinguishing between field grade officers and generals.

From what I've read on Glenn J's site this tunic would be for a general. Am I correct?
