Most likely it is Gold shell (gold plated) But it could be a jewelers mark.
I'm not a jeweler or an expert, but, It means solid gold, where GS means gold over silver.
No - it does not mean gold over silver at all. It means "gold-shelled" which is another way of indicating that it merely gold plated. The base metal is rarely silver (or the plating would probably be called vermeil and not be hallmarked GS) and is probably just inexpensive base metal(s).
