Old German in V&A large? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vandal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'old german' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'va large?' is the wordplay.
'va' becomes 'vanda' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'large?' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'vanda'+'l'='VANDAL'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for vandal that I've seen before include "Deliberate destroyer" , "Person who maliciously damages things" , "Hoodlum" , "Person causing wanton damage" , "Old German" .)
