Hi,
This is likely to be one of the marks used by William Page & Co. of Birmingham.
See:

Due to the use of the 'crown' mark, the piece can be dated to pre-1897.
'GS' is an indicator for German Silver, see:

Hi Trev,
Thanks for your information. It not a special spoon, but just something I bought to try and find out about. I was curious why it has never been plated and just left as brass.
