Yes, its in nice clean condition, screws are nicely blued and not chewed up, I can see a couple of bushings that are a bit too visible, but on the whole its good.

Is it normal to see a striking carriage clock with a cylinder movement?

I would of thought is you have gone to the expense of adding striking you would use a leaver escapement.

Have a closer look at the hour hand I think it has been broken and soft soldered back together and painted.

Actually on second thought I think the original hour hand has been lost or broken and a replacement has been made, but not to the quality of the original one.
