Doesn't look like any Fender case I've seen from that era.
Looks like maybe a cheap case for a knockoff Jazz Bass, definitely not a Mustang case.

Definitely not a Fender case at least judging by the ones I've seen.

Fabrizio is in Europe. Assuming he was in Europe in '65 when he bought the guitar, the case isn't much of a mystery.

Before container ships, shipping used to be much more expensive. Plus tariffs and duties. So Fender generally didn't ship cases overseas. Especially on the lower-end "student models".

Cases were left up to the European distributors and retailers. They'd find locally made cases that more or less fit. Cases in England were different than cases in Italy. And even in the same country, two different retailers might provide different cases.

So, not the Fender-branded case you could buy in the US, but the "correct case" from whichever retailer sold that guitar to him.
