A turbine seal includes a first arcuate segment defining a flowpath boundary between combustion gases and air, and includes a radially outwardly extending rail at one end thereof. A second arcuate segment is disposed coaxially with the first segment for defining a continuation of the flowpath boundary, and has a radially extending face adjoining the rail. A leaf seal bridges the rail and the face for sealing leakage therebetween, and a plurality of pins extend through the leaf seal for providing mounting to the rail. Each pin includes a head and an opposite tip, with the pins being fixedly joined to the rail solely about the pin tips for freely supporting the pin heads in a cantilever without obstruction therearound for eliminating supporting tabs. A leaf spring is mounted on the pins between the heads and the leaf seal to pre-load the leaf seal against the rail and face to effect the sealing therebetween.
