As he was Prussian I would say it means V(erdienst) Kreuz and it means "Verdienstkreuz Kriegshilfsdienst". It was awarded like the Iron Cross until the mid 1920ies.

Thank you very much in advance!

Sorry, but it is too small to identify. But ... it could be white-blue which is Bavaria. So it could be a Bavarian Freikorps or a Bavarian citizens troop.
Sad to hear. Let us know when you sell something. I you have anything related to Kampfwagen, Tanks or Armoured Cars, please let me know.
Hope your invome will increase soon. Due to Covid-19 I had to change from selfemployed to emlpoyed.
Kind Regards
Chris
Pictures from the back available?
I don't like the ribbon - looks new to me. The cross itself: well .... it looks like the ,odern copies, but ... not 100% sure.
Vielleicht noch anzumerken: bei den Kraftfahrer-Vereinen waren nicht nur Kraftfahrer organisiert, sondern im Prinzip konnte dort jeder Mitglied werden, der zu den Verkehrstruppen zählte, also bspw. auch Angehörige der Kampfwagentruppe.
Übrigens: habe in meiner DB nachgesehen: kein Meißner.
