Trying to identify the maker.
This is a 135mm f4.5 - 10 aperture blades
Serial number conventions for Vivitar don't seem to include a 71XXXXX but the lens is made in Japan.
Any likely candidates for the manufacturer that you might know of?
As always, your assistance is appreciated.
Thanks to all

Sorry, I don't recognize it, it could be from a lesser known lens manufacturer.
It does look like it needs some cleaning, fungus?

Yes, it did need cleaning - no fungus though.

Rebranded (cheap) enlarger lens also sold under the LPL moniker (and others).
Don't expect much from it...
